The Pl@ntnet project: plant computational identification and collaborative information system

Barthélémy D., Boujemaa N., Mathieu D., Jean-François M., Joly A., Mouysset E.. 2011. In : IBC2011. XVIII International Botanical Congress, 23-30 July 2011, Melbourne, Australia. s.l. : s.n., p. 577-577. International Botanical Congress. 18, 2011-07-23/2011-07-30, Melbourne (Australie).

Among the world's living species, there are approximately 300,000 species of plants. Accurate knowledge of their identity, geographic distribution and use, underpins the success of the world sustainable agriculture with advanced research in agronomy, and biodiversity conservation. Unfortunately, the quality and quantity of plant information is poorest in the regions that could use it the most: Mediterranean and tropical countries. It's for this reason that plant identification, sharing of and access to plant information play a crucial but little understood role in modern society. In this context, Agropolis Fondation (http://www.agropolisfondation. fr/) is supporting its first Flagship Programme called Pl@ntNet. This programme involves a large international partnership jointly led by the AMAP Joint Research Unit (http://umramap.cirad.fr), the IMEDIA Research Team (http://www-rocq.inria.fr/imedia/), and the non-governmental organization Tela Botanica (http://www.tela-botanica.org/). The Pl@ntNet project aims to set up a web-oriented scientific, informative and educational software platform dedicated to plant identification and to the collaborative gathering, share and use of large, multi-disciplinary datasets on plants. Free, open-source, easy-access software programs, based Among the world's living species, there are approximately 300,000 species of plants.
