Abstract

Taxonomic identification of specimens is an important activity in Biosciences research. It brings challenges due to amount of information and artifacts manipulated. This work describes an interdisciplinary design experience that sought to understand this activity to find opportunities for improvement. A web system was designed and developed with special care for user interface. The system was evaluated by usability test with 7 people. All participants were able to identify specimens with the system. Positive characteristics and points that need to be improved were observed in user interface. This interdisciplinary experience generated a promising solution and deservers be discussed by community.
