Abstract

Taiwan is renown for its great variety of butterflies. There are about 400 species, a number of which unique to Taiwan, over its 36,500 sq km land. Last year we built a comprehensive digital collection of Taiwan's butterflies to provide a modern research environment on butterflies for academic institutions, as well as an interactive butterfly educational environment for the general public. Our digital museum emphasizes on the ease to use, and provides a number of innovative features to help the user fully utilize the information provided by the system. The digital museum is accessible through the Web at http://digimuse.nmns.edu.tw.
