Xanadu linking, two way, fragment-level, “source” knows it is linked to, source content is embedded, links don’t break
Xanadu
Wait, WTF has this to do with floras?!
What is a flora?
• Draw polygon (shape) on map
• Get list of all species within that polygon
• Get original descriptions/revisions for those species
• Add locally relevant information
• Mash together (“mashup”), and we’re done!

Open versus closed data and the challenge of creating a 21stC flora
1. Data needs to be open (e.g., scientific names – IPNI, I’m looking at you)
2. Scientific literature needs to be open access (taxonomists I’m looking at you)
3. Question: How do we make (1) and (2) happen?
