From Floras to Interactive Keys
The document discusses different methods for capturing information from existing manuscripts, such as printed floras, and making dichotomous keys available online. It describes marking up text with XML to structure information like species descriptions. It also explains how tools like Lucid Phoenix and DELTA/INTKEY can be used to convert written keys into interactive online keys by importing text files. The document recommends having information in a database or structured with XML to make it more usable and suggesting images could help differentiate similar species.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Good morning. My name is Patricia and today the idea is to show 3 ways of reusing existing information in manuscripts for building keys, some more interactive than others. I will be focusing in mechanisms that allow you to transfer information in Floras in bulk into different interactive keys.
