Abstract

In an era of digitization we are still using taxonomic keys where the only change has been passing them from paper to PDF, implying keep getting these keys in libraries or with people who have work and sometimes in another language, which creates problems to get them, which is why the aim of TAXUD is to build a web tool, entirely in Spanish, with templates http://metcreative.com programmed in Java, HTML and MySQL languages with which they can design and implement the inclusion of taxonomic keys and the use of web tools such as market.envato.com where permitted interact and work together to create a knowledge network where the community share general information and taxonomic keys for faster web-determination of individuals from a mobile device in any place without printing a single sheet. In its first months of being active, more than 80 registered users, more than 300 taxa were indexed with various information, updated and viewed in more than 40 countries, indicating that it is an information network worldwide.
