Citizen Science Online

康奈尔大学将开发“公民科学在线”。“这个项目将利用互联网开发各种方法，让公民，在任何先进的水平，参与科学收集数据，这将有助于了解鸟类的种群生物学和管理这些鸟类栖息的自然生态系统。该方案有五个组成部分：（1）软件、用户界面和一个基于互联网的方案的背景资源，任何北美参与者都可以使用;（2）将修改九个现有的公民科学项目，使在线数据输入更加准确，使参与更加方便用户，并便利将结果反馈给参与者和公众;（3）一个广泛的在线支持材料和教程图书馆，包括照片、发声音频剪辑、地图和其他信息;（4）通过一个综合性的门户网站公民科学在线，整合所有这些基于互联网的项目和信息;以及（5）通过与其他组织的伙伴关系测试和修改交互式数据库工具。

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.
