9400770 Brinton An interactive, microcomputer-based expert system will be developed for the euphausiid crustaceans, an ecologically important taxon throughout the world ocean. The expert system will include several pathways to arrive at identifications and the information base for all of the known species. These pathways will include: (1) a visually oriented, interactive pictorial key, (2) a structured database pathway, permitting rapid searches based on selected character states, and (3) searches by taxon name. There will be separated modules to differentiate Euphausiids from higher taxa and to identify species of adult Euphausiids. The expert system will include worldwide biogeographic distribution maps for each species; electron and light micrographs, including original color micrographs wherever possible; line drawings; and behavioral sequences in the form of QuickTime movies. It will include an illustrated glossary and a bibliography indexed by species. It will be made available on CD-ROM for all major microcomputer operating systems, hence usable in the field or at remote field stations. The expert system will be an original synthesis of information both unpublished and published. It will include euphausiid morphology, taxonomy, and biogeography, as well as aspects of euphausiid behavior including swimming, feeding, and bioluminescent displays. It will be immediately useful in studies of marine biodiversity. It will be important for GLOBEC ( Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics) studies, where multiple investigators must ensure that they are using common (and current) sources for identifications. It will be useful to researchers who do not have comprehensive libraries. It will incorporate unpublished information gleaned over 3 decades by 3 euphausiid experts. The expert system will draw on the specimens and resources of Scripps Institutes Planktonic Invertebrates Collection. Production of CD-ROM's will be done in cooperation with Expert Center for Taxonomic Identification (ETI ), University of Amsterdam.

9400770 Brinton一个交互式的、基于微机的专家系统将被开发出来，用于研究在世界海洋中具有重要生态意义的甲壳类动物。专家系统将包括几种途径，以达到所有已知物种的识别和信息库。这些路径将包括：(1)面向视觉的交互式图形键，(2)结构化数据库路径，允许基于选定的字符状态进行快速搜索，以及(3)通过分类单元名称进行搜索。将有独立的模块来区分高分类群和成虫种。专家系统将包括每个物种的全球生物地理分布图；电子和光学显微照片，如有可能，包括原始彩色显微照片；线绘制的图片;和QuickTime电影形式的行为序列。它将包括一个图文并茂的词汇表和按物种索引的参考书目。它将以CD-ROM的形式提供给所有主要的微型计算机操作系统，因此可以在外地或在遥远的外地站使用。专家系统将是未发表和已发表信息的原始综合。课程将包括喜鳞蝽形态、分类学和生物地理学，以及喜鳞蝽行为的各个方面，包括游泳、进食和生物发光展示。它将立即对海洋生物多样性的研究有用。这对全球海洋生态系统动力学（Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics， GLOBEC）研究非常重要，因为多个研究人员必须确保他们使用共同的（和当前的）来源进行识别。对于没有全面的图书馆的研究人员来说，这将是有用的。它将整合30多年来由3位精神病专家收集的未发表的信息。专家系统将利用斯克里普斯研究所浮游无脊椎动物收藏的标本和资源。光盘的制作将与阿姆斯特丹大学分类鉴定专家中心（ETI）合作完成。
