DEIMS is a web-enabled, easy to use application to store, edit and share data and informatio about your research.DEIMS is currently used by seven US-LTER sites. DEIMS is also used in ILTER (Europe, Asia and Mexico) and is free for anyone who wishes to use. DEIMS is based on the popular open source content management system called Drupal, and is hosted both in Drupal and Github.
A functional IT team consists of system administrators, programmers, database administrators, GIS specialists, web designers, content strategists, project managers and science liasions. Most research groups lack of such teams. The DEIMS partnerships allows us to build a multi-IT-disciplinary team that usually as individual groups or sites we cannot even dream of. DEIMS is just a customization of the thriving Drupal community products to manage data. DEIMS uses sustainable practices for the custom add-ons, basin all customizations in the Github repositories.
DEIMS is open to your contrbutions. Whether in the form of adoption, critique, development, feature requests, bug identifications or funding, all contributions are welcome.
