About ENTOMONE

ENTOMONE is a working environment for entomologists. It connects field and collection records, photographs, sites, maps, taxonomy and controlled publication of selected data to external services.

ENTOMONE Field Notebook is a work tool for entomologists. It stores and organizes entomological data, collections, field-trip records and photographs. It includes tools such as the UTM Map, Alerts, label printing, map generation, record printing and publishing to iNaturalist.

ENTOMONE at a glance

ENTOMONE is an application for entomologists: field and collection data, photographs, maps, sites, Databases (Datasets) shared by teams, specimen labels and numbering, and publishing observations to iNaturalist. It is available as a web service at entomone.com with a forum, while the Android app is currently in testing. User records are stored in separate SQLite databases, while a central MariaDB database handles accounts, permissions, and search. A shared record is visible to people who have access to its Dataset, while Private status limits access to the owner. After connecting Google Drive, photographs, backups and files may be stored in the user's private Drive.

Standards and data quality

ENTOMONE follows the GBIF-style direction for data: explicit sources, metadata, location quality, record completeness and export paths toward biodiversity formats such as Darwin Core.

User data and privacy

Every record has Shared or Private status. A shared record follows its Dataset permissions. Only the owner can see a private record: other team members cannot see the record or its media, and ENTOMONE blocks both individual and bulk publishing or updating it in iNaturalist. Status can be changed in record editing or in bulk from My records.

Storage and Google Drive

ENTOMONE stores metadata, relationships and workflow state. Photos may remain in the user's private Google Drive cloud, while the application stores identifiers, thumbnails and controlled working copies needed for operation.

Taxonomic sources

ENTOMONE uses two different taxonomy systems. iNaturalist is used to publish observations and needs its own identification number (taxon_id). Catalogue of Life Extended Release, also used by GBIF, is the reference for species names and the relationship tree. The data source is Catalogue of Life – ChecklistBank. ENTOMONE can also use custom name and classification dictionaries prepared by Users.

If a taxon exists in iNaturalist, the record can be published even when the iNaturalist classification is older. If the taxon is missing from iNaturalist, ENTOMONE automatically checks the name in CoL XR and uses it for local classification when it finds one unambiguous accepted match. Publication to iNaturalist remains blocked until the taxon exists in iNat. Control example: Agapanthia suturalis in CoL XR / GBIF COL XR runs through Agapanthiinae, while iNaturalist still shows the older path through Lamiinae.
