Using the Okavango Basin Information System (OBIS)

The Okavango Basin Information System (OBIS) is a web-based data management and dissemination platform that is being developed within the research project The Future Okavango (TFO) (see also http://www.future-okavango.org). This tutorial aims on giving OBIS users an overview of general features and describes how to use them in a step-by-step fashion.

Software requirements

In order to access and use OBIS, only a current web browser is needed in general. OBIS was particularly tested with recent versions of the Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, and Google Chrome web browsers. As some of the OBIS user interfaces are best displayed on screens with resolutions of 1200x800 pixels and above, web browsers running on smartphones might not be well-suited.
