The DNA Bank Network was established in spring 2007 and was funded until 2011 by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The network was initiated by GBIF Germany (Global Biodiversity Information Facility). It offers a worldwide unique concept. DNA bank databases of all partners are linked and are accessible via a central web portal, providing DNA samples of complementary collections (microorganisms, protists, plants, algae, fungi and animals). The DNA Bank Network was one of the founders of the Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN) and is fully merged with GGBN today. GGBN agreed on using the data model proposed by the DNA Bank Network. The Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem (BGBM) hosts the technical secretariat of GGBN and its virtual infrastructure. The main focus of the DNA Bank Network is to enhance taxonomic, systematic, genetic, conservation and evolutionary studies by providing: • high quality, long-term storage of DNA material on which molecular studies have been performed, so that results can be verified, extended, and complemented, • complete on-line documentation of each sample, including the provenance of the original material, the place of voucher deposit, information about DNA quality and extraction methodology, digital images of vouchers and links to published molecular data if available.

ARAMOB is a German project aiming at consolidating and mobilising data from systematic studies on the ecology of spiders in Germany through this online portal. The underlying data management is done with the modularized database system Diversity Workbench. This framework was enhanced as a virtual research environment for arachnology by including lists, thesaury and trans-modular functions and tools helpful for data management in studies of spider taxonomy and ecology. The ARAMOB database will serve as repository for ecological data on spiders from Germany, provided by the Arachnologische Gesellschaft (AraGes) in the sense of the German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio). Through the portal or direct use of the database with Diversity Workbench data will be available to members of the AraGes for ecological analyses of spider species and assemblages, e.g. occurence and distribution, phenology, habitat preferences, ecological preferences, indication of habitat quality, a.o.
