Recently, in some video on YouTube (I think in a lecture by K. Makarov on working with collections), I heard that no one uses text keys with theses and antitheses in parentheses for a long time, and in our computer age everything is entered in special databases, and you can work with it interactively.
For example, you can enter a list of known characteristics into the program, and it will display a list of species with these characteristics. Or you can visualize the key as a tree / table by selecting the desired characteristics.
It sounds logical, but I haven't been able to find any such keys on the Internet yet (maybe I didn't search well). Or are such databases available only in institutes, and ordinary people can't get access to them?
