E-Species – A search engine for bugs and stuff
About e-Species: This is a pure Python CGI-based implementation of a taxonomically intelligent species search engine. It searches biological databases for a taxonomic name.
iSpecies , also a species search engine, uses web services to talk to source databases, extract data, and assemble a page for each species. The code makes extensive use of XML. Essentially, each web service returns XML in one form or another, and then they use XSL style sheets to transform the result into HTML.
