8. What is a flora?
• Draw polygon (shape) on map
• Get list of all species within that polygon
• Get original descriptions/revisions for those
species
• Add locally relevant information
• Mash together (“mashup”), and we’re done!

29. Open versus closed data and the
challenge of creating a 21stC flora
1. Data needs to be open (e.g., scientific names
– IPNI, I’m looking at you)
2. Scientific literature needs to be open access
(taxonomists I’m looking at you)
3. Question: How do we make (1) and (2)
happen?
