1. Flora brasiliensis on-line basic activities  Scanning  Define/develop a system to treat images  High resolution  medium and low resolution  Image storing and retrieval  Definition of the information descriptors (metadata)  Preserve historical information  Add current scientific knowledge  Design and development of the database  Data input and retrieval  Update: names and localities

2. Basic concepts  Use of open source software (when possible)  All information freely available on the internet  Integration with other initiatives  Standards and protocols  Data/information sharing  Collaboration and Partnerships  Software development  Data/information integration (name and locality servers, herbaria, etc.)

3. Flora brasiliensis on-line Integrated with other information systems (base work for Flora brasiliensis 2)  In Brazil  State and regional checklists  Biota/Fapesp and other “biotas”  Herbaria (speciesLink)  Throughout the world  Catalogue of Life  Herbaria  Tools (modeling, name and locality servers,...)
