EDIT WP5 Platform for Cybertaxonomy

The EDIT mapViewer is an online toolbox for taxonomists, offering data visualisation and analysis for the preparation of their publications. Its first implementation was through the Mapbuilder Ajax framework for building web mapping clients inside a browser, with limited funtionality. In the meantime, the tool has been ported to the OpenLayers framework, as Mapbuilder is not longer supported and developed. In addition, many new functions have been developed and implemented for a true “version 2” release. The mapViewer tool can be found at : http://edit.csic.es/geo/mapviewer/edit_test.html All functions are well documented, with text and demonstration videos, at : http://edit.csic.es/edit_info/edit_videos.html
