Resumo:
This work presents the creation of a computational environment for the collection of sci-
entific data. The use of mobile applications for scientific data collection is widely used
today, but with a broad scope of research, the development of new applications would be
impractical, so that custom applications do not have standardized data availability in any
medium. For this, this work presents the solution to these needs that the researchers need,
with a mobile application that allows the researcher to perform their research without the
need to elaborate a new application for a specific research, besides having the availability
to transfer the data collected for any database that the researcher uses, using the struc-
ture of the files standardized with the metadata described in this work. For this purpose,
this work has utilized Xamarin Cross-Platform development techniques for application
development, metadata concepts, and interoperability to create transfer file patterns and
software engineering concepts for the design of a transfer architecture between hetero-
geneous systems. To validate the usability concepts, the application demonstrated good
results that satisfy the usability and ergonomic aspects of the mobile applications, as well
as the validation with real cases of biological research in the natural fields of collection of
data on animals and plants of ICMbio. Concluding that proposing an environment that
communicates with a standard collection application is feasible, so that it behaves well in
different types of search.
