Figure 1. First 18 lines of extensible markup language (XML) parsed taxonomic description of the genus Glottidia (from Williams et al., 2000). Blue text corresponds to the original published text; capitalized words in red enclosed within brackets (<...>) are the XML tags added automatically by the XML parser. Pink and green text is also added by the parser inside the XML tags as attributes. The figure shows how the name author, date, and taxonomic description of the taxon have been recognized and tagged in such a way as to allow complex queries. See text for details.
