StrataBugs - iDatReservoir

StrataBugs is the biostratigraphic data management system of choice for biostratigraphers worldwide. StrataBugs protects data integrity and minimises data entry tasks so that more time can be spent on interpretation.

Fossil occurrence data may be entered using an on-screen picklist, an on-screen overlay which can optionally be used with a touch screen (not supplied), or using a separate tablet device (not supplied); data are verified against a taxonomic database. In addition, facilities are provided for recording multiple versions of interpreted geological data such as ages, biozones, lithostratigraphy, palaeoenvironments, sequence picks and for displaying all of these data against graphic lithology and wireline log traces on screen or hardcopy. Data can be exchanged with other databases and charts imported into desktop publishing packages. The ability to link with other corporate computer systems makes StrataBugs an ideal choice for larger organisations with a computing infrastructure in place. The system can be configured to suit your needs: from standalone to shared network databases.

Users can get a summary of their data and "drill down" to look at the details. Import tools enable users to import data from other StrataBugs users and in Checklist, Ragware, CSV, Tilia, PD, Strats, Fugro-Robertson’s RG, Bugware and other formats. The taxonomic database ensures that the user is able to verify new taxon names before they are loaded to the system. In addition, the system "learns" which alternatives to imported names are preferred and can subsequently switch them automatically.
