Abstract

VegItaly (http://www.vegitaly.it; GIVD ID EU-IT-001) is a web database designed to store, retrieve and analyse the vegetation data of Italy. Designed for both floristic and phytosociological data, it can handle any field plot according to the definition of “vegetation database” suggested by the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD) and the IAVS Ecoinformatics Working Group. VegItaly, supported by Societa Italiana di Scienza della Vegetazione (formerly Societa Italiana di Fitosociologia), is hosted by AnArchive (http://www.anarchive.it), a collaborative project aimed at archiving botanical data that involves several Italian universities coordinated by the University of Perugia. VegItaly’s main aim is to contribute to data archiving and sharing in order to offer the possibility to manage large data sets for statistical analysis on a wide geographic scale.
