We are biologists and computer scientists, i.e. biomaticians
We make (Data - Information - Knowledge) Bases
We apply Sign Management and Activity Theory (UCD)
We do Biodiversity Informatics in situ (Enhancement of herbarium and coral collections at University of Reunion Island)
We intend to do it in vivo (Management of the natural patrimony of the Reunion National Park) in a Reunion Island Living Lab
