DiGIR (Distributed Generic Information Retrieval) was built by the natural history/biological collections community, led by The Species Analyst Network at the University of Kansas, as a replacement for the Z39.50 information retrieval protocol. DiGIR uses Darwin Core, a metadata standard developed by the same community to describe specimen collections. Further information is also available on the DiGIR Wiki.

GeoURL, another really cool tool. Guess it's a good one for burglars, now they'll know who's got computer equipment in proximity to one another. One-stop shopping.

Quoting the Flying Meat Software site, here's a cool tool I read about via O'Reilly Network's Meerkat Open Wire Service (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/3164):
VoodooPad is a new kind of notepad. It's like having your own personal hypertext library, where you can jot down notes, web addresses, to-do lists... Anything on your mind. VoodooPad automatically links each page together, to form a miniature world wide web, on your desktop! Anybody familiar with the WikiWikiWeb will feel right at home with VoodooPad.
Type in your notes, and highlight important words or phrases to create new pages; or drag and drop folders, applications, or URLs into VoodooPad - they're linked up whenever the word representing it is found.
You can export your VoodooPad library as html to share with others, or copy it to your iPod so you can view your library on the go. VoodooPad also includes a services menu- so you can select text in Safari (or any other application that supports services) and have it show up as an entry in VoodooPad..
Cost: $10 (Limit of 15 new pads until registration).
