Abstract
The EU project KeyToNature aims to contribute to a better
knowledge of biodiversity by a practical activity, the identification of species.
The project is introducing new tools, including digital keys for mobile media.
In Estonia two applications have been prepared for smartphones: a ‘Key to
trees and shrubs of Estonia’ (for iPhone, iPodTouch and iPad) and a ‘Key to
Estonian epiphytic macrolichens’ (using the Android operating system). A third
tool, the ‘Key for plants of the island Naissaar’ is an example of application of
the Open Key Editor for creating new keys for mobile devices, starting from a
larger master key.
