What is DiGIR

DiGIR is the software through which OBIS communicates with its distributed data contributors – defining how data is exchanged. When a user of the OBIS portal inputs in a query (such as 'show me all the locations where the fish, Beryx splendens, has been found'), DiGIR allows the portal to send that query to the data contributors, for the data contributors to translate that query into a search on their local database, and to send the data back to OBIS. More information on DiGIR can be found on digir.sourceforge.net. Please contact OBIS before installing the DiGIR software to ensure that you are using a compatible version and have the OBIS configuration details.
