[NHCOLL-L:5080] RE: Dichotomous key software

[Frederick, Moretta RBCM:EX]

 We recently developed an online taxonomic key application that will allow researchers to publish matrix-style keys on the Royal BC Museum website.  Currently, we have a key to the chitons of BC and are in the process of creating and uploading keys for additional taxa.  
The program can be viewed here:

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:5078] Dichotomous key software

Hi all

We have a Kansas fish key on our website that we have designed using simple HTML - simple links for couplets that lead to the next couplet and end up in an HTML page for the species.  I have however seen various kinds of software available for designing and publishing dichotomous keys and would be interested in hearing from anyone who has used any of these and any recommendations.

Thanks

Andy
