Texas A&M University Department of Biology Herbarium
Program: ARKQMAKE.IPF
Program description pages are generated by programs that
produce WWW pages for the Texas A&M Department of Biology Herbarium (TAMU) system.
These provide an archival reference,
a reminder of how things were done, a tracker of various files involved, and information
for those with an interest in this type of thing.
ARKQMAKE.IPF, generates a base HTML file - ARKFAMXX.HTM - with alphabetical links to a series
of 'menu' files [ARK?FAM.HTM] that allow mouse-based selection for family-level entry to the
Arkansas flora distribution/diversity mapping system. The program 'walks' through the data table
ARKFULL.ITB, which carries all family names listed in the Arkansas flora which match names used
by the Biota of North America Program (BONAP) system, some BONAP family names (those that can be
directly linked to the Arkansas family names, and local family names. ARKFULL.ITB is created by
the program ARKFAMCR.IPF. This uses ARKFAMS.ITB, a data table that carries all family names used
in the published Arkansas Atlas (An Atlas and Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of
Arkansas (1988), by Dr. Edwin B. Smith and links to related BONAP names.
ARKFAMCR.IPF transfers names from ARKFAMS.ITB to ARKFULL.ITB and also enters new records based
on some relationships between Arkansas and BONAP names. Once formal name processing is
completed, ARKFAMCR.IPF takes data from FAMLOCAL.ITB, a database that carries common local
names for vascular plant families (initially based on those used in the Flora of
of the Great Plains with local modifications/additions. ARKFAMCR.IPF is used to make
an updated version of ARKFULL.ITB as base data tables are edited/expanded. ARKQMAKE.IPF
uses both formal and local names for menu construction and Arkansas family names to
create URLs from form 'select' commands to the family-level diversity maps which are
generated 'on the fly' by a system developed by Erich Schneider of the Texas
A&M Center for the Study of Digital Libraries and the Texas A&M Bioinformatics Working
Group. Program code is written in the Knowledgeman (PC-database) language by Dr. Hugh
D. Wilson.
