9808739The aim of this project is to design. implement and optimize a system enabling taxono-mists, conservation biologists. and decision-makers to access large quantities of data regarding the distribution and diversity of birds based on data from systematic collections and observational data sets. It will be composed of three geographically separated func-tional subsystems The first subsystem at the University of Kansas (KU) still allows man-agement of and access to integrated data housed in five large. geographically separate databases in institutions in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The second subsystem at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, will permit user-designed analysis and visualiza-tion of results from the data subsystem using a GIS database. The third, Java-based sub-system, situated on users' machines, will perform GIS mapping using results from the first two subsystems. The system builds on an existing database and map server developed at KU and the Biodiversity Insight System developed at SDSC. Open protocols such as Z39.50 and CGI will be used throughout to ensure scalability to additional databases and other taxa. allowing the system to encompass many additional sources of data.

9808739这个项目的目的是设计。实施和优化一个系统，使分类学家，保护生物学家。决策者可以根据系统收集的数据和观测数据集获取有关鸟类分布和多样性的大量数据。它将由三个地理上分离的功能子系统组成，堪萨斯大学（KU）的第一个子系统仍然允许管理和访问集成在五个大型数据库中的数据。在加拿大、美国和墨西哥的机构中建立地理上分开的数据库。第二个子系统位于圣地亚哥超级计算机中心，将允许使用GIS数据库对数据子系统的结果进行用户设计的分析和可视化。第三个基于java的子系统位于用户的机器上，将使用前两个子系统的结果执行GIS制图。该系统建立在KU开发的现有数据库和地图服务器以及SDSC开发的生物多样性洞察系统的基础上。像Z39.50和CGI这样的开放协议将贯穿始终，以确保对其他数据库和其他分类的可伸缩性。允许系统包含许多额外的数据源。
