DBI 9982849 Heidorn University of Illinois, UC Biological Information Browsing EnvironmentAbstractSpecimen identification is one of the main tasks in biodiversity surveys. These surveys are conducted to evaluate the impact of local development as well as to evaluate the impact of global processes such as global environment change. They also aid in research that aims to understand the interdependencies between species. The specimen identification process is most difficult and time consuming for the non-professionals who are being called upon to aid in this work. Standard identification keys are difficult to use because of the rigid structure of the character representation. Interactive keys are an improvement but are difficult to construct and may not be the best approach for all situations. The PI proposes to increase the options by developing a Biological Information Browsing Environment (BIBE). BIBE would allow a user to visualize the contents of natural language descriptions from flora, fauna and other natural language species description collections. This visualization could then be used to facilitate specimen identification.

DBI 9982849 Heidorn 伊利诺伊大学 UC 生物信息浏览环境摘要样本识别是生物多样性调查的主要任务之一。进行这些调查的目的是评估当地发展的影响以及全球环境变化等全球进程的影响。它们还有助于旨在了解物种之间相互依赖性的研究。对于需要协助这项工作的非专业人士来说，标本鉴定过程是最困难且耗时的。由于字符表示的严格结构，标准识别键很难使用。交互式按键是一种改进，但难以构建，并且可能不是适合所有情况的最佳方法。 PI 建议通过开发生物信息浏览环境 (BIBE) 来增加选择。 BIBE 将允许用户可视化来自植物群、动物群和其他自然语言物种描述集合的自然语言描述内容。这种可视化可以用来促进样本识别。
