dc.description.abstract | Taxonomists produce a myriad of phenotypic descriptions. Traditionally these are provided in terse (telegraphic) natural language. As seen in parallel within other fields of biology researchers are exploring ways to formalize parts of the taxonomic process so that aspects of it are more computational in nature. The currently used data formalizations, mechanisms for persisting data, applications, and computing approaches related to the production of semantic descriptions (phenotypes) are reviewed, they, and their adopters are limited in number. In order to move forward we step back and characterize taxonomists with respect to their typical workflow and tendencies. We then use these characteristics as a basis for exploring how we might create software that taxonomists will find intuitive within their cur- rent workflows, providing interface examples as thought experiments. | en_US |
