Appendix 4. MX data files (NEXUS, Character list with image ids, OTU list with image ids, images)
Authors:

Brief description:
Note: MX keys are Web based. To build new keys a user must either obtain an account with an existing instance of MX or a new installation on a machine that runs a Web server. Basic installation instructions are found on the MX wiki (http://purl.oclc.org/net/mx-installation) and presently requires fairly advanced technical experience. MX is coded in Ruby on Rails with a MySQL database. Present files contain MySQL database-generated output describing components of the key. These include: a character/character state list, and NEXUS file. Images are also made available and linked to character state and Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) descriptions. These output files are adequate to properly recreate the key, but the format of these files (except the NEXUS file) are presently under review and should not be considered standardized output at the present time. To run the key a user needs Internet access and the key URL (http://peet.tamu.edu/projects/36/public/multikey/show/199). MX is optimized for Firefox Web browser.
