The use of information technology in biodiversity related databases is increasing due to the open access to a large sum of data. Access to this information may be regarded as crucial to different areas of knowledge. The present work aims at the development of a open access computational system on biodiversity of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The Biota-Rio system focuses on the animal species, vertebrates and invertebrates, which were originally described for the State of Rio de Janeiro. In this sense, key information such as original descriptions, type localities, habitats and other are directly available on the system. Biota-Rio is a system in which the user may freely access the information via web that was implemented using the PERL language. The MySQL was the selected DBMS in the implementation of the database in which the informations are deposited. To date, surveys have been made of references to thirty-six species of mammals using the Zoological Record database.
