Resumen:
ABSTRACT. The rapid advances in cyber-infrastructure, bioinformatics, digital imaging
and related information technologies facilitate the access to taxonomic data and
allow generating new information on a scale appropriate to meet the decline in biodiversity.
Basic taxonomic information, such as taxonomic literature, catalogues, specimen-
level data, location of types, and interactive keys are already available, at least for
some groups, on the Web. In this article we explore the modern means of disseminating
taxonomic information, mostly entomological information, in the Internet; we review
some of the different ways taxonomists have so far made use of the Web or will be able
to do so in the near future, and how modern means of sharing data, especially via the
Internet, are being used to streamline taxonomic work and improve links with end users.
