Workpackage 6 of EDIT - the European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy
"Unifying Revisionary Taxonomy on the Web"

This is the Workpackage 6 (WP6) site of EDIT, a European Union funded project to promote and integrate programmes of biological taxonomic research. We aim to helping communities of taxonomists across the globe to put the products of their research on the Web. We are doing this in three ways:

  • Scratchpads: Providing you and your community a space to work on the Web
  • Web Revisions: Helping you to meaningfully structure taxonomic data for the Web
  • Meetings: Bringing researchers together to collaborate on taxonomic research using the Web

WP6 is a collaboration between the Natural History Museum, London, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Free University Berlin, but also involves participants from many other international organisations. We are working closely with the EDIT WP5 team to deliver an Internet Platform for Cybertaxonomy.

What is a Scratchpad?

Summary

Scratchpads provide you and your community of researchers a space to work on the web. They are easy to use, adaptable to reflect your needs, and provide you with powerful tools for managing your data. A summery of how they work is illustrated below:
