Data Management Workshop for Inland and Coastal Field Station

如果管理和照顾得当，关于自然种群和生物野外站生境的数据是宝贵的资源。成功的数据管理需要外地站利用技术的进步，并支持外地站的工作人员。该项目将支持于1990年4月22日至26日在凯洛格生物站举行的研讨会，作为1982年举行的类似研讨会的继承者。其目的是评估自上次讲习班以来所取得的进展，分享和传播信息，建议有助于合作研究的标准和协议，并提出试点方案可能引领的新方向。讲习班将由生物野外站组织（OBFS）和南方海洋实验室协会（SAML）共同主办，并将代表这两个小组的场址的多样性和数据管理系统发展的不同阶段。将邀请大约40名来自野外站和海洋实验室的代表参加三个工作组之一：1)数据管理，2)数据库标准以促进合作研究，3)数据管理的计算机和软件。讲习班的结论和建议的报告将提交给美国国家科学基金会，并分发给机构、OBFS和SAML，以及其他感兴趣的科学家。

Data on natural populations and biological field station's habitat are a valuable resource, if properly managed and cared for. Successful data management requires field stations to take advantage of advances in technology, and to support staff at field stations. This project will support a workshop to be held April 22-26, 1990, at the Kellogg Biological Station, as a sucessor to a similar workshop held in 1982. The purpose will be to assess the progress that has been made since the earlier workshop, to share and disseminate information, to recommend standards and protocols to aid collaborative research and to propose new directions for which pilot programs might lead the way. The workshop will be co-sponsored by the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) and the Southern Association of Marine Labs (SAML), and will represent the diversity of sites and the various stages of development of data management systems in these two groups. Approximately 40 representatives from field station and marine laboratories will be invited to participate in one of three working groups: 1) Data Administration, 2)Database Standards to Facilitate Collaborative Research, and 3)Computers and Software for Data Management. A report of the workshops conclusions and recommendation will be made to the National Science Foundation, and distributed to the institutions constitution OBFS and SAML, as well as to other interested scientists.
