Tool for the identification of organisms, comprising a series of steps, each of which represents a question about one or more characters of the organism. Each step offers multiple alternatives, choosing one of them will lead us to the next step until reaching, finally, the name of the organism. Most of the keys only offer two alternatives, the so called dichotomous keys. A taxon can include an identification key for the subordinate taxa.

E.g. The register of a genre will include the keys of the species shown in this genre, and the register of a species will include the keys of infraspecific ranks (in the case of plants: subspecies, variety, forms...).
