9632403 Allmon Invertebrate paleontological collections are among the largest of US systematics collections and provide most of the empirical evidence for the history of life on earth. In order to fully utilize these collections, the invertebrate paleontological community needs to adopt a set of comprehensive guidelines for standards and prioritization in collections management, including curation, conservation, accession, deaccession, inventory and disposition of orphaned and endangered collections, risk management, collections access, the role of amateur collectors, and the relative value of different types of collections. In all these areas, the priorities of collection improvement and growth must be balanced against available resources as well as legal and ethical responsibilities. This proposal seeks funds to support an invertebrate paleontology workshop, the goals of which are 1) to discriminate problems and key issues related to collection curation and propose guidelines for their resolution, 2) to encourage and facilitate computerization of US collections, and 3) develop a common data model and set of common data standards for computerized record capture and management. The workshop will be held June 6-15, 1996 in association with the North American Paleontological Convention at the Smithsonian Institution. This workshop clearly addresses an important issue regarding data storage, computerization and management for both pure and applied research. The results of the workshop will be published in an edited volume.

9632403奥尔蒙 无脊椎动物古生物学收藏是美国最大的系统分类收藏之一，为地球上的生命历史提供了大部分经验证据。为了充分利用这些收藏品，无脊椎古生物学界需要采用一套全面的准则，以制定收藏品管理的标准和优先顺序，包括策展、保护、加入、退出、孤儿和濒危收藏品的库存和处置、风险管理、收藏品的获取、业余收藏家的作用以及不同类型收藏品的相对价值。在所有这些领域，必须根据现有资源以及法律的和道德责任来平衡收集改进和增长的优先事项。该提案寻求资金支持无脊椎动物古生物学研讨会，其目标是1）区分与收藏策展相关的问题和关键问题，并提出解决问题的指导方针，2）鼓励和促进美国收藏的计算机化，以及3）开发一个通用数据模型和一套通用数据标准，用于计算机记录捕获和管理。这次研讨会将于1996年6月6日至15日在史密森学会与北美古生物学会议联合举行。 这次讲习班明确地讨论了一个重要问题，即理论研究和应用研究的数据储存、计算机化和管理。讲习班的成果将编辑成册出版。
