OZCAM stands for the Online Zoological Collections of Australian Museums. The site provides a "proof of concept" that it is possible to provide access to datasets around Australia via a single portal. Currently, queries can be made on five groups of animals: mammals, reptiles and amphibians, fishes, dung beetles and molluscs. An extensive query screen allows the user to query by taxon name, by place, by time or by a combination of these. The user can also nominate which museums are to be queried. Data returned from sites around Australia can be displayed either as dots on a map or as a list. From either of these displays it is possible to mine the data further and view the raw dataset for any single specimen.
