Building an Electronic Scientific Community

9319844沙茨该奖项将支持蠕虫社区系统(WCS)的分发和持续发展。这是一个电子社区系统或数字图书馆，包含科学社区的知识和一个软件环境，使之能够在广域网上与这些知识互动。特别是，WCS包含了研究线虫工作的分子生物学家社区的正式和非正式数据和文献。WCS的图书馆馆藏使研究人员能够搜索所需的项目，导航相关项目之间的链接，并进行个人注释。这项提议得到了计算机和信息科学与工程局的信息技术和组织计划以及生物科学计划中的数据库活动的共同支持。***

9319844 Schatz This award will support the distribution and continued development of the Worm Community System (WCS). This is an electronic community system, or digital library, containing the knowledge of a scientific community and a software environment to enable interaction with this knowledge across wide-area networks. In particular, WCS contains the formal and informal data and literature of the community of molecular biologists who study the nematode work C. elegans. The library collection of WCS enables researchers to search for desired items, navigate links between related items, and make personal annotations. This proposal is being jointly supported by the Information Technology and Organizations program of the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering and by the Database Activities in the Biological Sciences program. ***
