DEVELOPMENT OF AN ELECTRONIC DATABASE FOR STORING ZOOLOGICAL SCIENTIFIC COLLECTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

The article describes the developed electronic storage database of the zoological collection of the Institute of Zoology of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The creation of a database and a data bank on the state scientific zoological collection will allow it to be used for scientific, educational and applied purposes, which will be used for accounting, monitoring the condition and long -term preservation of the unified national zoological collection and management of valuable zoological collection materials. The State Zoological Scientific Collection is the most important source of information for various areas of biological research. It is not only the basis for conducting scientific research on taxonomy, molecular genetics o f animals, but also a documentary confirmation of the correctness of faunal works performed. When solving this problem, which is important in theoretical and practical terms, the inventory of species diversity samples becomes particularly relevant.

An electronic database with a user-friendly interface for entering data from the State zoological collection of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been developed on the basis of MySQL. The developed EBD includes an information retrieval system and will ensure the further formation of a virtual scientific zoological collection.

The electronic database is intended for zoologists, as well as for specialists of other profiles who need zoological information.
