[tdwg] Species pages and video

[Donat Agosti]

Dear Wouter

 

Thanks for this link. From a scientific literature point of view, this
demonstrates very nicely the absurdity of how we deal with scientific
literature: At the bottom, there is a link to description, and the link goes
to Wikipedia: This is fine in itself, but it questions why we bother to go
through writing scientific publications describing species. You bother to
have links to scientific names, and then in the next section one on commons
names: here you care, but you do not make the same for species descriptions.

 

Donat

Great to see map information with the species, and using Google Earth is
exciting. 

It would be nice if some representation or preview of the map appeared right
on the page... worth taking a look at the Google Maps API.  Helps you know
if it's worth the extra click & switching to the other app. Also, did you
know that KMLs will show up on maps.google.com too?  It's called "kml on
maps" - might help with what you're looking for. 

Best,

Hello,

I will not be attending the meeting this fall  but  thought that this
may be of interest to those interested in species pages models.
I am working on species pages that include the use of video.  The videos 
were only added a month ago and are a bit rudimentary
(with budget-conscious equipment) but the potential now seems truly
limitless.
