Users can accept the Classification provided or define their own Taxonomic Standards for projects large and small.
In building and organizing annotated taxonomic checklists, SKI_IN uses Biological Classification as an heirarchical Index; this is represented by a short and meaningful code. SKI_INput has many data management facilities and provides a variety of formats for the output SKI-files for printing, for use in spreadsheets, database programs and E-mail.
Uniquely, SKI-System files are updatable as the Biological classification evolves. The available SKI_PLUS program and current series of INDEX files achieve this at Family level.
