A desktop application for Windows was created to provide access to all the various tools associated with the Spot-Browth Database.

It is important to distinguish with the Spot-Growth Database between the creation and administration of the database as opposed to the consumption and use of the information in the SGDB.

The desktop application is for high-level users who will be reading in electronic file formats or typing in hardcopy, or other means of creating the data.  Verifying this data, confirming its truth, is left to the scientists, but quite a bit of data-validation, confirming its logical meaning, is done by the adminstration application.

Once a unified collection of field data has been assembled, it still remains to host this information somewhere and regulate access to it.  These concerns are not addressed in the SharpSpb project as it stands, but are instead left to the scientists handling the implementation.
