CABRI
Common Access to Biological Resources and Information
Our Mission
To provide biological products of quality to the scientific community:
by searching the catalogues of the participating collections by means of:
+ the CABRI Simple search engine, that provides a special search by synonyms feature,
+ the adapted SRS interface.
by browsing the hypertext, including
predefined full indexes by catalogues, genus/species and families.
To provide quality guidelines
to ensure our customers the specific technical procedures used
To expand
the resources with other centres having acceptable
quality standards
