Information technology plays an increasingly vital role in bioindustrial development and in the establishment of biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of the environment. Recognizing the need and importance of local and regional database developments, the Tropical Data Base is establishing an interactive biodiversity/biotechnology information resource. The system is linked to major international networks and information centres, and is based on a workstation system and personal computers. All software was developed to attend specific needs and to cope with hardware limitations, making the system adequate to other developing countries.
信息技术在生物产业发展以及生物多样性保护和环境可持续管理体系的建立中发挥着越来越重要的作用。认识到地方和区域数据库发展的必要性和重要性，热带数据库正在建立一个交互式生物多样性/生物技术信息资源。该系统与主要国际网络和信息中心相连，并基于一个工作站系统和个人计算机。所有软件都是为满足特定需求和应对硬件限制而开发的，使该系统适用于其他发展中国家。
