DiversityNaviKey

The progressive web application DiversityNaviKey (DNK) is a generic tool primarily designed for any kind of diagnosis and interactive identification of organisms or other items as well as item groups which are part of or related to biodiversity, geodiversity or environmental research, by means of a set of pre-defined characteristics. It allows for sophisticated selection based on highly structured data sources (datasets) with descriptive data (trait data with descriptors, descriptor categorical states, descriptor values). The browser-based tool is optimized to build and run determination keys based on the consecutive selection of descriptors, descriptor states and values during the identification process. Selection criteria might be predefined by individual user or changed during the identification process.
