The database client Diversity Navigator®




Welcome to the Diversity Navigator Web Site!

What is DiversityNavigator?

Diversity Navigator® is a database client for remote creating, retrieving, enhancing, reviewing, editing, and sharing information in databases. The client software is completely written in Java and runs on various operating systems.

Diversity Navigator is a comprehensive scientific database client for remotely accessing Diversity Workbench and other biological databases. It meets the data-management requirements of museums, herbaria and scientific working groups.

Diversity Navigator requires the Java Runtime Environment to be present and installed on the user's computer. If JRE is not yet installed, see the Installation Page for instructions on installing JRE before installing Diversity Navigator.

Diversity Navigator is available for free and open use without a licensing fee. Registering Diversity Navigator by Registration Form helps the developers to document the level and extent of Diversity Navigator use, in order to secure ongoing grant support [– either to be removed or to be established at a later stage].
