Pathway keys have certain advantages over matrix keys, the biggest one of which is probably their much higher availability. They are not known, however, to work so well in electronic media.

KeyBase (http://keybase.rbg.vic.gov.au) provides a tool for playing and managing pathway keys on the web. KeyBase keys can be displayed as traditional bracketed or indented keys, but also come with an IntKey/Lucid-style key player. KeyBase also adds some additional functionality, such as the ability to filter keys on a subset of taxa. And KeyBase can handle all keys even for big projects.

KeyBase has been adopted as an Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) project and will be further developed as a set of web services and JQuery plugins, so keys can be easily included in online floras and other species information systems.
