:#[http://biscicol.org/biocode-fims/ Biocode Field Information Management System] (from their website). A Field Information Management System (FIMS) enables data collection at the source (in the field) by generating spreadsheet templates, validating data, and assigning persistent identifiers for every unique biological sample. The following diagram shows how the system works. The most typical functions are Generating Templates and Validating Data, both of which can be found under the Tools menu.<br/>[http://biscicol.org/biocode-fims/templates.jsp Generate a Template]<br/>[http://biscicol.org/biocode-fims/validation.jsp Validate data]<br/>[https://code.google.com/p/biocode-fims/ How FIMS works]<br/> | :#[http://biscicol.org/biocode-fims/ Biocode Field Information Management System] (from their website).
