Software for a “universal grapevine database” has been developed to support the characterization<br />

of grapevine biodiversity. In this database, registered users may submit <strong>and</strong> manage their own<br />

data at any time, <strong>and</strong> the introduced data may have three different levels of visualisation: private<br />

level (the data are visible only to the submitter), middle level (the data are visible to all other<br />

submitters), public level (the data are visible to all public users). Only the data approved by a<br />

specific scientific committee may be elevated to public level. When a submitter introduces<br />

microsatellite data into the database, the application allows a specific st<strong>and</strong>ardization procedure<br />

based on some specific selected accessions called ‘system accessions’. The main classes of data<br />

represented in the database are the ‘grapevine variety’, the ‘ampelographic-ampelometric <strong>and</strong><br />

phenological-productive descriptors’ (as reported in the second edition of the OIV descriptor list<br />

for grape varieties <strong>and</strong> Vitis species), the ‘microsatellite profile’, <strong>and</strong> the polyphenol <strong>and</strong> aroma<br />

profiles. Several search options have been implemented: a search by variety <strong>and</strong> other general<br />

parameters, a search by ampelographic <strong>and</strong> ampelometric parameters, <strong>and</strong> a search by<br />

microsatellite profile. In the microsatellite profile it is also possible to search by range <strong>and</strong> by a<br />

particular st<strong>and</strong>ardization procedure. The application has been implemented using the most<br />

recent database software <strong>and</strong> languages, so it is flexible <strong>and</strong> dynamic especially as <strong>with</strong> regard to<br />

the addition of other classes of data, like new type of descriptors <strong>and</strong> molecular markers. The<br />

application is on the web at http://www.vitisdb.it <strong>and</strong> at present it is adopted for the ‘Italian Vitis<br />

Database’, managed by the “Vitis Database Working Group”.<br />
