AntWeb Technology
AntWeb integrates information from a variety of sources: taxonomic
authority files in Excel, specimen data in Biota, and images taken using
Automontage and a Leica microscope. This information is combined and
stored in a MySQL database, and dynamically served to
the Web using Apache's Tomcat servlet container. AntWeb's software is
written in Java, and built using the aptly named Apache Ant.
