An infographical movie explaining an upcoming website that will act as an Encyclopidia of Life, collecting & documenting the 1.8 million living species known to man today. should be on a website near you around mid 2008.
The shown snippets of several interactive data visualizations, as well as the movie itself, which acts as an visually engaging & explanatory tool, seem quite interesting.
"Comprehensive, collaborative, ever-growing, and personalized, the Encyclopedia of Life is an ecosystem of websites that makes all key information about life on Earth accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. Our goal is to create a constantly evolving encyclopedia that lives on the Internet, with contributions from scientists and amateurs alike. To transform the science of biology, and inspire a new generation of scientists, by aggregating all known data about every living species. And ultimately, to increase our collective understanding of life on Earth, and safeguard the richest possible spectrum of biodiversity."
