Collaboration Beyond PALMS - WP 7

EDIT – THE EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTED INSTITUTE OF TAXONOMY

EDIT was an EU FP6-funded network of excellence that ran for five years until early 2011 and was a partnership between the major taxonomic institutions in Europe (www.e-taxonomy.eu/). One of the main aims of EDIT was to create tools for conducting and delivering taxonomy in a web environment. Palmweb (www.palmweb.org) was a product of this and is the mechanism through which FP7 PALMS WP7 achieves its information dissemination objectives. FP7 PALMS overlapped with EDIT and the early months of the FP7 PALMS software developer position at KEW were co-funded by EDIT

 

BGBM – THE BOTANICAL GARDEN AND BOTANICAL MUSEUM, BERLIN

The BGBM led the work package focused on web taxonomy in EDIT, resulting in the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy. Palmweb (www.palmweb.org) is built upon this platform. The FP7 PALMS software developer at KEW worked closely with the BGBM in making modifications to Palmweb to accommodate FP7 PALMS data.
