TRIN Hub Research Information Systems

What is HubRIS?

Welcome to the HubRIS Wiki. Why HubRIS? Because we like it.

The role of HubRIS is to provide information technology support to all aspects of data collection, research and information delivery in TRIN projects, working with taxonomists and the biological collections to develop effective and productive processes to capture, manage, analyse and deliver biodiversity information. Staff will work with TRIN and other taxonomists to document the complete taxonomic process to identify areas of activity amenable to technology application.
