- Title
- Por-Linnaeus: the application of interactive multimedia software for species data storage and computer assisted identification of Porifera
- Abstract
- Poriferan species data storage and identification using ETI's multimedia software package Linnaeus II were tested in several regional projects (Western Europe, Central West Atlantic and Papua New Guinea). Multimedia species data storage (texts, pictures, films) and retrieval with this software program appear to be easy to use, through pull down menus, button and text clicking, and uniformly applicable through standardized formats. Identification using multiple keys and a diversity of multi-media characters may be easily customized for different user groups. Regional or taxonomic monographs are assembled on CD-ROM for cheap and easily accessible dissemination. The stored data will also be made accessible on line.
