Abstract
This commentary provides listings of two main types of botanical medicine information resource: databases and monograph series. The problematic and over-used term ‘database’ is explained and a distinction drawn between herbal monographs that are essentially collections of pre-linked and interpreted text in the form of flat files (pages in electronic format) and scientific botanical medicine and natural product databases that are dynamically created and updated using multiple fields of primary data. Each type of resource has advantages and disadvantages depending on the purpose and needs of the user.
