EDIT/Key to Nature collaboration
The EDIT workshop that took place the
7th of February in Amsterdam and that followed a Key to Nature (K2N)
meeting (for more details see the news below entitled "EDIT
workshop report") was an opportunity to bring together
protagonists of EDIT and K2N. K2N is a project which main objective
is to enhance the knowledge of biodiversity at all educational levels
by providing common access to data and interactive educational tools
for the identification of organisms. A collaboration between
EDIT and K2N has been considered and should first concern the
development of a knowledge base in the most languages as possible. A
knowledge base on aquatic insects built with the Xper2 taxonomic tool
has been chosen and will be tested by a school public. This
knowledge base can be found in attachment both in English and in
French. To test it the Xper2 program need to be installed by using
