LEPIDAT
Our task was the redesign of an application for the management of data on the butterfly population. Using the application, employees of the BfN, interested citizens, and scientists can access information on butterflies. The Bundesamt für Umwelt und Naturschutz (BfN) operates LEPIDAT for the habitat and endangerment analysis of butterflies.
Due the continued pollution of the environment, more and more butterfly species in Germany are in acute danger of extinction. To deal with this danger, a deep knowledge of the species and their connection to certain plants and habitats is important. In this important matter, tarent GmbH was able to support the BfN in the implementation of the complex application and its successful launch.
GenTG
In the BfN, the management and processing of the applications for the putting into circulation and approval of genetically engineered plants is performed using software we developed. The application used there is precisely adapted to the special requirements. Not only addresses are managed, but also incoming mail, studies, and areas of release, including the integration of a geo-data system. The application is characterized by flexible search functions and a dynamic linkage of the individual partial areas of the process. In this highly interesting project, we not only proved the quality of our requirement analysis, but also gained additional knowledge in the areas of politics and administration technology.
Consulting on a content management system
In the consulting project for the BfN, the boundary conditions created by BundOnline 2005 were in the foreground. The concrete tasks in this project were as follows:
- Consulting for the selection and implementation of a content management system.
- Study for the realization of information databases in the Internet.
- Analysis of the existing applications
- Recommendation of a software architecture
The requirements determined in SAGA (Standards und Architekturen für eGovernment-Anwendungen (Standards and Architectures for eGovernment Applications)) were taken into special consideration as a guideline for the software architecture. SAGA is published by the Koordinierungs- und Beratungsstelle der Bundesregierung für Informationstechnik in der Bundesverwaltung (KBSt) (Office for the Coordination and Consulting of the Federal Government for Information Technology in Government Administration).
