  3. The specification for version 1.0 of XML is at www.w3.org/TR/WD-xml-090907.html/.
  5. One of many dbms vendors developing JDBC tools for database access is Sybase at http://www.sybase.com/products/entcon/.
  6. The Gartner Group provides online access to reports and forecasting on client server systems, in particular, and networked information systems, in general http://gartner6.gartnerweb.com/public/static/home/home.html.

This architecture has been implemented by the National Digital Library Program at the Library of Congress (http://www.dlib.org/dlib/february97/cnri/02arms1 .html) and is the basis for the development of digital library architectures for the National Digital Library Federation (http://lcweb.loc.gov/loc/ndlf/ndlfhome.html).
  14. A general reference on natural history museum activities on the WWW is located at the Biodiversity and Biological Collections Web Server at http://biodiversity.uno.edu/
  15. A general reference for phylogenetic data on the WWW is http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/subway/phylo/phylodat.html#molecular
  16. The TreeBase project is located at http://herbaria.harvard.edu/treebase.

  17. The Tree of Life project is located at http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/tree/phylogeny.html
