Horse Data Exchange Hub
Today when you have to register a foreign horse (as imported, for competition, as imported semen…) in your database, you have to type data from the passport. It takes a lot of time; some databases register more than 10 000 imported horses a year. There are still risks to make mistakes on the horse name, date of birth, colour, pedigree…
The hub project developed and promoted by the WBFSH was a tool to facilitate the exchanges of data between central, stud book, federation databases, though XML files. Unfortunately, the technology has evolved and the project was abandonned.
A new project was developed by Delta Horses : Horselink and presented during the WHIRDEC. This project is open to central databases, breeding organizations, national federations. If you want to know more about it, read the last WHIRDEC meeting presentation. You can also contact Max Becherer from Delta Horses or the WHIRDEC manager.
To exchange data, your database has to be compatible with the webservices technologies.To participate in data exchanges, the database manager has to sign the ‘data exchange chart’, in order to respect the code of ethics of the project.
Another data exchange project lead by FEI and WBFSH is also under development to exchange data between breeding organizations members of WBFSH and FEI. If you want more information about this project, please contact WBFSH.
