| dc.description.abstract | Though database driven web sites are becoming more dominant world-wide, many web projects are still static, i.e. they have been created with flat HTML pages which are difficult to maintain and update. Kansas Wildflowers and Grasses, one of four Kansas State University AgNIC sites, was begun in 1996 and has been considerably enlarged over a ten year period. It was originally hand-coded in HTML with each page created separately. As more data was added to the site, maintaining and updating the pages became very time consuming. In the spring of 2007, it was decided to give the web site a “new look” which would also present new features such as a consistent metadata display, an easy-to-update web interface, and web forms for inputting metadata. This presentation describes the goals of this project and focus on the techniques and procedures used to convert the original static site into a dynamic database-driven web resource. Poster presented at the 2008 USAIN (United States Agricultural Information Network) Conference, April 27-30, 2008, Wooster, Ohio. | |
