Key Generation Tool review with comments and new text #402

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Consider name "Identification Tool" and replace page header text with New page text suggestion: "The Identification Tool is an interactive multi-access key which provides an identification "from taxon-character matrices, using an information entropy based method which treats character polymorphisms gracefully. It consists of the following steps: You are at: Create Input
Define Task [possibly select taxon level (eg. species (vs. family/genus]

Output: Identification

Need to be able to choose at which level to resolve identification (eg. species/subspecies)

(this may change what characters are considered useful/useless)

Other notes:

(also, "arrangement of drupe" options = "not" (parse error?)

Turns out, that when multiple identical character states are presented (like in image) depending on WHICH particular option is chosen, resolves to a particular taxa.

*would be supercool to fix this by showing a count next to the character state ( surface_sculpture of ip)

Would you want the count of taxa overall or the count of taxa remaining that have the specific character state?
