The EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy "Group Installation" is a software suite supporting collaborative work on a common taxonomic data store within a single institution. It consist of a single networked database installation as well as per User installations of the EDIT desktop taxonomic editor. In contrast to the Individual installation scheme, the Group installation comes with a World Wide Web portal, which is used to publish the taxonomic data electronically. The portal's design is highly configurable and can be adapted to the particular needs of a given taxonomic project. The Group installation is for use within an institutional intranet only. However, remote access can be realized via upgrade to Community Installation.
