> Hi Fabio,
> If I had to write an interactive key today...I would use Lucid or Excel as my manager  (easy to check both positive and negative dependency issues with Lucid), then save/export and convert the CSV to JSON for incorporation into the web framework of choice.  Add  linked images across the taxa in the cloud and add a script or two.   Now it is visual, translatable, and interactive - requires additional wizardry granted.  But will work on anything without a runtime (no JVM or Silverlight required).  Fourth-generation example is here http://www.herbarium2.lsu.edu/grass2/.
