EDIS (Entomological Data Information System) provides access to relevant information about insects and other arthropods for research and the general public, and was coordinated by the State Museum of Natural History, Stuttgart, Germany.

GBIF
GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) mission is to make the world's primary data on biodiversity freely and universally available via the Internet.

SYSTAX
SysTax (a Database System for Systematics and Taxonomy) is an integrated concept-based database system for storing biodiversity data.
