The development of increasingly powerful mobile devices like
PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) and Smartphones, with larger displays
and greater resolution makes them increasingly suitable for identification
tools available directly “in the field”. One of several approaches towards this
aim in the KeyToNature project is based on wiki-stored documents. Important
features of wiki-based keys, such as hidden text and media information as
well as links to glossary entries are supported. The illustrated keys can be
used online or downloaded in a zip file. An extension to support the application
stores of various mobile platforms (Android, Apple iPhones, etc.) is under
development.
