La aplicación se creó en respuesta a los errores que conlleva el proceso de escritura manual y al consumo del tiempo del mismo. Por otro lado, la App no requiere ninguna configuración inicial y facilitara a sus usuarios el proceso de elaboración de las etiquetas, y al Herbario subir el informe al Sistema de Información de Biodiversidad (SIB) Colombia. Para esto último, la aplicación consolida la información suministrada por el operador en un archivo Excel con la información de cada espécimen recolectado. Este formato Excel está construido bajo los estándares Darwin Core, el cual permite compatibilizar sistemas digitales de información sobre colecciones biológicas. Para la construcción de la aplicación se describieron cuatro fases. La fase 1 especifica los requerimientos de la aplicación en términos de los datos que son ingresados y las funcionalidades que se espera, esto se realizó en conjunción con el personal del herbario. El resultado de esta fase fue un listado con las funcionalidades que cumplan con los requerimientos solicitados y soluciones a los problemas planteados. The main objective of the project was the creation of a mobile application (App) with georeferencing for collecting information on botanical specimens collected in the field and entered into the UDBC herbarium. The application was created in response to the errors that come with the manual writing process and the time consumption of it. On the other hand, the App does not require any initial configuration and will facilitate the process of creating labels for its users, and for the Herbarium to upload the report to the Biodiversity Information System (SIB) Colombia. For the latter, the application consolidates the information provided by the operator in an Excel file with the information of each specimen collected. This Excel format is built under the Darwin Core standards, which makes it possible to make digital information systems on biological collections compatible. Four phases were described to build the application. Phase 1 specifies the requirements of the application in terms of the data that is entered and the functionalities that are expected, this was done in conjunction with the herbarium staff. The result of this phase was a list with the functionalities that meet the requested requirements and solutions to the problems raised. With this input, phase 2 was carried out, where an initial graphic design was carried out through a mapping of the different fields to be used in the application. This initial sketch shows the functionalities (screens, buttons and accesses) in a visual way that resembles the final design seen from a smartphone. This design was made with the Figma software and was shared with the herbarium staff. In phase 3, the application was developed through the Kotlin and Java languages, under the Android Studio software environment, in which the visual appearance, screens, buttons, text boxes and all visible elements are generated. proposed in phase 2 towards an APK file (the application) that a person can install and use on their smart phone. For information management, a simple SQL-type database was used to store information on the projects created and botanical samples collected. Once the application was built, it was subjected to tests to guarantee its optimal performance according to the expected combinations. In phase 4, field tests of the application were carried out using the complete functionalities in order to determine its stability and capacity, this focused on searching for errors that were corrected. Finally, once the tests had been passed, the application was delivered to the herbarium and a discussion of its use and clarification of doubts was carried out.
