Mutant: agents as guides for multiple taxonomies in the floristic digital library

INTRODUCTION Taxonomy is the study of the general principles of scientific classification. A taxonomy provides a particular way to organize entities in a given realm according to specific criteria. Taxonomies are valuable resources in identifying and understanding newly discovered objects or concepts. Frequently, however, multiple taxonomies exist for the same entities. These arise because different viewpoints serve different purposes or simply because scientists do not always agree on how knowledge can best be organized. We focus on an agentbased solution to the problem of providing access to multiple taxonomic perspectives for a large collection of data. We instantiate this approach in a digital library in which agents serve as guides through multiple plant taxonomies for a distributed community of users interested in botany.
