EDIT CDM portals and taxonomic editor –
the Milichiidae portal
• Funded for 5 years by the European Commission (until Feb. 2011)
• A Network of Excellence aimed at encouraging integration of effort in taxonomy across EU institutions.
• Has several ‘Workpackages’– one is building IT tools for taxonomists (WP5)– another is examining how to bring revisionary
taxonomy to the web (WP6)
European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy (EDIT)
Insect exemplar group
Diverse approach to bringing revisionary taxonomy online:• ‘Bottom up’: Scratchpads for free choice of
scope, quantity and presentation of data (WP6)
