The team from Bonn is developing the infrastructure for data management in the LEPMON project. The team is responsible for research and data management throughout the entire LEPMON project and integrates artificial intelligence models. In addition, the team provides an online annotation tool that experts can use to identify moths captured by camera light traps.
The Lepmon project provides various web tools that make it easy to handle the data. These include tools for managing and monitoring the traps, the ability to upload images from the traps, and an AI-supported system that assists in identifying and locating moths in the images. A data portal ensures that the results are presented clearly. The data collected is organized and stored in several databases. Various interfaces enable the exchange of information with other data portals and online services, both within the project and beyond.
All data sets produced are stored and made accessible in accordance with FAIR criteria, using the structures developed and defined by the German Federation for Biological Data. In particular, data management is based on the existing tool for collection data, Diversity Workbench, which uses several standardized modules for managing taxonomies, location information, etc.
The data obtained in the project reflects the occurrence of moths in space and time. For this reason, the identified moths will be made publicly available on the following portals:
