This paper by Martin Graham, Jessie Kennedy and myself (mostly Martin and Jessie) describes some of the taxonomic visualisation work undertaken at Edinburgh Napier University. This includes the Concept Relationship Editor and the impressive TaxVis application designed and developed by Martin Graham. Jessie and Martin’s current project VIPER also looks very interesting, its a tool to remove errors in animal pedigree information caused by administrative and data handling faults.
