9709860 Panero This project will complete data entry for the approximately 100,000 specimens of Mexican Asteraceae that are housed in the Plant Resources Center at the University of Texas. This database is a collaborative project among the University of Texas (TEX-LL), the National Herbarium of Mexico (MEXU), and the Commission for the Understanding and Use of Biodiversity of Mexico (CONABIO), and will be freely available to all interested parties through the World Wide Web. CONABIO is funding a portion of the data entry personnel and computer equipment, as well as providing monies to MEXU to create a similar database for their specimens. In addition, staff of MEXU, with funds from CONABIO, will add geographic coordinates to TEX-LL records, and correct any text and locality data that are in incorrect Spanish. NSF funding (provided by a partnership among the Research Collections in Systematics & Ecology, Database Activies, and International Programs) will be used to hire data-entry and supervisory personnel at the University of Texas. Specimen data will be entered into the database using the Microsoft Access application BIOTICA developed by CONABIO. All databased specimens will be barcoded to insure easy recognition of specimens in the database and expedite specimen handling. This database will foster research on the Asteraceae and on the Mexican flora by facilitating data retrieval, floristic checklists and floras, and the identification of areas high in endemism for their potential conservation.

9709860 Panero该项目将完成大约100，000个墨西哥菊科标本的数据输入，这些标本存放在德克萨斯大学植物资源中心。该数据库是得克萨斯大学（TEX-LL）、墨西哥国家植物标本馆（MEXU）和墨西哥了解和利用生物多样性委员会（CONABIO）之间的一个合作项目，将通过万维网向所有感兴趣的各方免费提供。 CONABIO正在资助一部分数据输入人员和计算机设备，并向MEXU提供资金，为其标本建立类似的数据库。此外，MEXU的工作人员将利用国家土著事务委员会的资金，在TEX-LL记录中添加地理坐标，并更正任何不正确的西班牙文文本和地点数据。美国国家科学基金会的资金（由系统学生态学、数据库活动和国际项目的研究集合提供）将用于在德克萨斯大学雇用数据输入和监督人员。将使用CONABIO开发的Microsoft Access应用程序BIOTICA将样本数据输入数据库。所有数据库标本都将被条形码化，以确保数据库中标本的易于识别，并加快标本处理。该数据库将促进对菊科和墨西哥植物群的研究，促进数据检索、植物区系清单和植物区系，并确定具有高度特有性的地区，以便进行潜在的保护。
