Citizen Science Online

康奈尔大学将开发“公民科学在线”。该项目将利用互联网开发各种方法，允许任何水平的公民通过收集有助于了解鸟类种群生物学和管理这些鸟类栖息的自然生态系统的数据来参与科学研究。该计划有五个组成部分：(1)任何北美参与者都可以访问的基于互联网的软件、用户界面和后台资源；(2)将对现有的9个公民科学项目进行修改，使在线数据输入更加准确，使参与更加方便，并便于向参与者和公众反馈结果；(3)广泛的在线支持材料和教程库，包括照片、发声音频片段、地图和其他信息；(4)通过综合门户网站“公民科学在线”整合所有基于互联网的项目和信息；(5)通过与其他组织合作，对交互式数据库工具进行测试和修改。

Cornell University will develop "Citizens' Science Online." This project will use the Internet to develop ways of allowing citizens, at any level of prior sophistication, to participate in science by gathering data that will contribute to an understanding of the population biology of birds and for managing the natural ecosystems these birds inhabit. The program has five components: (1) software, user interfaces and background resources on an Internet-based program that is accessible to any North American participant; (2) nine existing citizen-science projects will be modified to make online data entry more accurate, to make participation more user-friendly and to facilitate feedback of results to the participants and public; (3) an extensive library of online support materials and tutorials, including photos, audioclips of vocalizations, maps and other information; (4) integration of all of these Internet-based projects and information via a comprehensive Web portal, Citizen Science Online; and (5) testing and modifying of the interactive database tools through partnerships with other organizations.
