This paper covers the design, development and implementation of a review-based quality management system for an ecological database. We define a quality assurance process similar to that of a peer-review, whereby incoming data is separated into smaller items suitable for individual reviewing based on individual expertise. A simple yet efficient scheduling mechanism is devised that will distribute the trait datasets among the group of reviewers, considering certain particular requirements and conditions.
