Abstract

The information system to support BIOTA/FAPESP aims at contributing towards the conservation and sustainable use of São Paulo's State biodiversity, promoting and facilitating the access of information to the scientific community, government and society in general. The system was launched In July, 1997, as an open, cooperative and integrating network, using the Internet as a means of communication and dissemination of information. It was a very important supporting tool for the workshop "Basis for the conservation of São Paulo's State biodiversity” held in July, 1997. BIOTASP aims at integrating scientific information per se and with different fields of interesting such as legislation, conservation units etc., aiming at both a thematic and geographic approach. It aims at collaborating and complementing existing initiatives and includes the launching of the BIOTA NEOTROPICA an online publication space for the national and international scientific community. The study of GIS available on the internet requires the establishment of standards and a follow-up of new developments (software, systems) on the net. It will be necessary to relate databases to GIS systems, producing images and maps as an output. Production and distribution of images online and on CDs to both scientific and educational communities is sought as a first step, following the development/adoption of a web GIS interface. (AU)
