Branching databases

 My science coordinator has just asked me if we have a branching database program on our Edubuntu thin client system; we don't. Anyone have any recommendations?

The idea is like that of a classification key - a series of yes/no questions which the children create, and later respond to, to identify which of a set of objects is which. See, eg http://www.kented.org.uk/ngfl/subjects/science/databases/ . They are mentioned in the QCA KS2 ICT scheme of work, but not, as far as I can see, in the post-Rose curriculum.

Can you not do this in Drupal by making links to anchors and pages from question/answer text? The children could make a branching information system using web pages that could also contain links to pictures and videos and is searchable on key words. Could be a Gold INGOT project if they blog the process. You are welcome to use the INGOT community site, it's there to support this type of activity.

Wikidpad may do it:

May be I can help, I am a developer. looks like you need a 20 questions program.
