9626806 Al-Shehbaz & Schnase The Flora of China is a collaborative project to publish, first in electronic and then in print format, the first modern English-language account of the approximately 30,000 species of vascular plants of China. The print version of the Flora of China will comprise 25 volumes of text and illustrations that treat these species in a traditional format; the publication of the final volume in the series is not expected until the year 2006. However, in its electronic version, all the manuscripts for all the volumes will be available online via the WWW home page for the Flora of China by the end of this grant period (1998). Thus, this information (metadata descriptors will be provided to indicate the level of review and editing of a given treatment at a given point in time) will be available for use by workers in basic and applied research, conservation, land management, horticulture, medicine, pharmaceutical chemistry, etc., much more rapidly than might have occurred in the past. Each treatment is co-authored by Chinese and American botanists and provided to the project headquarters electronically. Editorial functions will now be performed on the taxonomic treatments in their electronic-database form (with automatic capture of metadata about these activities); when all such functions are complete, an electronic "manuscript" can be extracted from the database, ready to go to the printer. The shift to electronic editorial procedures will both enhance (other workers in addition to the project's editors can contribute expertise to the process online) and accelerate (shipping of manuscripts among various editors and reviewers, even by anonymous ftp or e-mail will no longer be necessary) the entire process. This project represents a step into the future of botanical science and international cooperation by the several supporting partners: the Chinese Commission of Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and National Natural Science Foundation of China, and Bioti c Surveys & Inventories, Database Activities, and International Programs (China) of the US National Science Foundation, as well as several private foundations in the United States.

9626806《中国的植物志》是一个合作项目，首先以电子形式出版，然后以印刷形式出版，第一本关于中国约30,000种维管植物的现代英文记述。《中国的植物志》印刷版将包括25卷文字和插图，以传统的格式处理这些物种；该系列的最后一卷预计要到2006年才能出版。然而，在其电子版中，所有卷的所有手稿将在本授权期结束时(1998年)通过《中国的植物志》的万维网主页在网上查阅。因此，这些信息(元数据描述符将被提供以表明在给定时间点对给定处理的审查和编辑水平)将可供基础和应用研究、保护、土地管理、园艺、医学、药物化学等领域的工作人员使用，比过去可能发生的速度快得多。每一种治疗方法都是由中美植物学家共同撰写，并以电子方式提供给项目总部。现在将以电子数据库的形式对分类处理方法执行编辑功能(自动获取关于这些活动的元数据)；当所有这些功能完成后，可以从数据库中提取一份电子“手稿”，准备送到印刷机。改用电子编辑程序既可以加强(除项目编辑之外的其他工作人员也可以在网上为这一过程提供专业知识)，也可以加快整个过程(不再需要通过匿名ftp或电子邮件在不同编辑和审稿人之间发送手稿)。该项目代表着中国科委、中国科学院和中国的国家自然科学基金、美国国家科学基金会的生物调查与调查、数据库活动和国际项目(中国)以及美国几个私人基金会等几个支持伙伴向植物学和国际合作的未来迈进了一步。
