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

9726045布鲁姆这次研讨会将汇集来自几个领域的专家，以制定合理的协议来处理有效地将自然历史数据计算机化所需的权威文件。由于没有议定书，因此档案本身也阻碍了生物多样性信息学的发展。无论是国内还是国际上，决策者和科学家都迫切需要WWW访问这些数据。该讲习班项目是主教博物馆、美国地质调查局/生物资源司、综合分类学信息系统项目以及数字图书馆和自然历史收藏界之间强有力的合作伙伴关系。所有相关方都将进行仔细的规划，以使研讨会的结果变得具体，并将进一步发展美国的生物多样性信息基础设施，该基础设施将成为全球生物多样性信息基础设施的一部分。

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.
