Due to Specify’s complex and highly-normalized data model, a programmer’s knowledge of data tables and collection data semantics is required to import data into Specify. The Specify Project will transform and copy existing databases into the Specify format for institutional users that are ready to use Specify and have registered. If you are interested in data conversion to use with Specify, please let us know. The Specify 6 WorkBench is designed to map data into Specify 6’s schema and Workbench data will be uploadable into Specify 6 by users.
