OpenKey: Illinois-North Carolina Collaborative Environment for Botanical Resources - P. Bryan Heidorn and Lesley Deem, First Monday
The Illinois-North Carolina OpenKey Project is revolutionizing access to botanical resources by making information about plant species more accessible and by simplifying and visualizing the process of identification. This project is supported by a partnership between botanists and information scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), Illinois Natural History Survey and North Carolina Botanical Garden. The project's major goals are to create new kinds of identification tools; provide online access to museum specimens; photograph and digitize images of plants in their natural environments; and, test the systems with school children, citizen scientists and professional biologists.
