I like all of the things listed in both db's but the thing that was glaringly missing was ""guilds"" which is why I thought this grant was written! Guild information will have to be solicited from all over the world, and will take time.
I think we should have as much information as possible on the plant guilds around a given species in its original habitat, ie apricots in Persia, and then the information on analog guilds in various regions as developed by individuals or evolved on their own.
This is the reason I think developing a subset of permaculture.info as
an Open Permaculture Project (OPP, Other People's Projects) or even A
Permaculture
Information Portal (PIP, i.e. seed, point of origin) is so important both as
a way to provide an expanded range of information
and as a source of information to be added to the database - they work together, in tandem. Two heads are better than one. This would not dilute our effort to develop the central plant & relationships database. Robust,bountiful and diverse are words that come to mind when I think about this aspect of permaculture.info.
A lot of this work has been done with such people as Vavilov, but it was incidental to the research they were doing and the results are sketchy. Which means a lot of research into the botanical literature.
See **** below.
I found a link to the Vavilov Institute,

which led me to:
European Glycine Database

Then to:
The German Centre for
Documentation and Information in Agriculture (ZADI)
