Data Collection
Data Collection encompasses the recording, validation, and storage of trait data. This process is facilitated by data production applications integrated into the EBS system. Despite some known limitations of the application, Data Quality Control is upheld through a semi-automated, standardized process designed to ensure both accuracy and reliability.
In EBS, the Data Collection tool offers multiple ways to input data, either through the web or mobile application, allowing data collectors and breeders to choose the best option for their activity. The web version of Data Collection enables teams to:
Upload collected data
Automatically compute trait variables
Perform basic data validation
Select and manage plot data for suppression or inclusion
Commit validated data, making it available in EBS for further analysis
Meanwhile, the mobile application, Field Book, helps teams:
Directly connect mobile application via EBS BrAPI integration
Import and sync data seamlessly
Web Browser or Web Application
Android Mobile Device
