SUMMARY This paper summarizes the I-flora project at Wageningen-UR. The I-flora is an LBS application that enables users to determine plants in the Dutch landscape. A database containing the characteristics of plant species is coupled to geo-information containing information about the presence of plant species at a certain location. As such the determination of plants in the field can be done relatively fast and efficient using small mobile devices like I-mode phone or Smartphones. For the implementation of a general framework based on XML, XSQL and Oracle technology is developed and implemented.
