(SGER) A Predictive Data Network for Fish Diversity: The FISHNET Prototype System

该项目计划在互联网上建立一个综合、分布式、信息架构和鱼类生物多样性数据库。最初，原型系统将整合六个机构的鱼类数据库：史密森学会、哈佛大学比较动物学博物馆、密歇根大学动物学博物馆、佛罗里达州立博物馆、杜兰大学和堪萨斯大学生物多样性中心。信息交换将通过ANSI/Z39.50协议和分布式服务器实现。原型系统的实施将为新生的生物多样性观测站网络（BON）提供概念验证活动。该项目将首次应用基于互联网的Z39.50协议来获取鱼类数据，并将与作为国家生态观测站网络和BON一部分的信息网络的发展问题相结合。本项目在小额探索性研究资助的指导下得到支持

WileyDEB-9910159This project plans to establish an integrated, distributed, information architecture and biodiversity database for fishes over the Internet. Initially, the prototype system will integrate the fish databases of six institutions: The Smithsonian Institution, the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, the Florida State Museum, Tulane University and the University of Kansas Biodiversity Center. Information interchange will be effected through the ANSI/Z39.50 protocols and distributed servers. Implementation of the prototype system will provide a proof-of-concept activity for the nascent Biodiversity Observatory network (BON). This project will be the first application of the internet-based Z39.50 protocols for fish data, and will integrate with he developing concerns of an information network as part of the National Ecological Observatory network and BON. This project is supported under the guidelines of the small Grants for Exploratory Research
