ILRI gratefully acknowledges all who contributed to the development of this Domestic Animal Genetic Resources Information System (DAGRIS) as a public-domain database. Both the on-line (web) as well as the CD-ROM versions of this information resource were produced through teamwork. The DAGRIS team based in ILRI-Addis Ababa assumes primary responsibility for the design and implementation of the structure, functionality and content of the database; however, numerous individuals and institutions (listed below) have contributed, directly or indirectly, at different stages of its development. Unless synthesised from current state of knowledge, all information in the database is obtained from published or grey literature, field reports or personal observations, and all of these are duly acknowledged in the section on bibliography. Although ILRI maintains the copyright for the information system as a whole, the copyrights on the specific data and images belong to the respective sources indicated in the bibliographies. ILRI reserves the right to update and improve the structure and content of the database as it sees appropriate in meeting its specific objectives. ILRI would also like to appreciate the numerous comments received from users on the content, structure and functionality of the beta release of DAGRIS. |
