Computerized Database of Verified Diatom Names

将建立一个经核实的硅藻名称的计算机化数据库。 该数据库将整合并向一般科学界提供包含硅藻命名信息的不同参考资料和资源。 在这个为期3年的项目中，出现在主要出版的硅藻名称目录以及未出版的自然科学院新种档案中的名称将被输入硅藻属名称和硅藻属内名称的数据库表。 数据库中的每一条目都将对照提议名称的原始参考资料加以核实。 这些信息将可以通过名称、权威、出版日期、个人或团体的参考资料和名称的状态进行搜索。 估计有75，00条记录将应要求提供给硅藻收藏、州和联邦机构以及个人科学家，并通过万维网和互联网上的Gopher服务器提供。 该项目将成为信息基础设施的一部分，以支持与生物调查和发明有关的广泛研究学科，包括分类学和系统学，生态学和古生物学，包括纯项目和应用项目。

A computerized database of verified diatom names will be produced. This database will integrate and make accessible to the general scientific community disparate references and resources that contain information on diatom nomenclature. Names appearing in the major published catalogues of diatom names as well as the unpublished New Species File of the Academy of Natural Sciences will be entered during this 3-year project into database tables for diatom genus names and names within diatom genera. Each entry into the database will be verified against the original reference in which the name was proposed. The information will be searchable by name, authority, date of publication, individual or groups of references and status of the name. The estimate 75,00 records will be made available to diatom collections, state and federal agencies and individual scientists by request as well as over World Wide Web and Gopher servers on the Internet. The project will be part of the information infrastructure to support a wide range of research disciplines relation to biotic surveys and invent ories, including Taxonomy and Systematics, Ecology, and Paleontology, including pure and applied projects.
