以植物园植物记录国际传输格式（ITF）为标准，采用以数据库为中心的模块化与结构化的方法，开发研制了南京中山植物园活植物信息管理子系统，并于1994年正式投入使用。该系统界面友好，操作方便，修改灵活，响应速度快。文章对系统的实现、数据处理、软件结构以及软件的功能进行了讨论。

In order to match up with ITF, database was adopted as the centralized moduling and structural method in programming to set up Computerized Management Subsystem of Living Collections Information of Nanjing Botanical Garden, and it was put into use successfully in 1994. The subsystem can be easily manipulated and updated with its friendly interface and high speed of processing. The subsystemt's achievement, data processing, software structure and function are discussed.
