EDIT WP5 Platform for Cybertaxonomy

Closely related to the EDIT Common Data Model (CDM, http://cybertaxonomy.eu/blog/cdm) work package 5 implements an innovative taxonomic data input and editing tool, which will become the central tool for taxonomists working on their data held in CDM stores. The editor overcomes the traditional and time consuming form-based data entry procedures with state-of-the-art parsing technology allowing users to enter their data in free-text form which is then analyzed into its syntactic components without further user interaction. Version 1 of the editor software already covers the basic functionalities necessary for entering and editing taxonomic treatments consisting of names, taxa, references, synonymies, hierarchies as well as categorized free text information linked to individual taxa.
