A Workshop on the Development, Management, and Dissemination of Taxonomic Authority Files, June 1998, Reston, Virginia

9726045 Blum该研讨会将汇集来自多个领域的专家，以制定合理的协议来处理有效计算自然历史数据所需的权威文件。 由于没有议定书，因此也没有文件本身，阻碍了生物多样性信息学的发展。 国家和国际的决策者和科学家都迫切需要通过万维网获得这些数据。 该讲习班项目代表了主教博物馆、美国地质调查局/生物资源司、综合分类信息系统项目以及数字图书馆和自然历史收藏界之间的强有力的伙伴关系。 所有有关各方将进行仔细的规划，以便研讨会的结果将是具体的，并将进一步发展生物多样性信息学基础设施，为美国，这将成为全球生物多样性信息学基础设施的一部分。

9726045 Blum This workshop would bring together experts from several fields to develop reasonable protocols for handling authority files that are needed to efficiently computerize natural history data. The absence of the protocols and therefore the files themselves has hampered the development of biodiversity informatics. WWW access to such data is critically needed by decision-makers and scientists both nationally and internationally. This workshop project represents a strong partnership among the Bishop Museum, the USGS/Biological Resources Division, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System project, and the digital libraries and natural history collections communities. Careful planning will be undertaken by all concerned parties so that the results of the workshop will be concrete and will further the development of a biodiversity informatics infrastructure for the U.S., which will in turn be part of a global biodiversity informatics infrastructure.
