This proposal is to host a workshop bringing together animal behavior and information technology experts to design an on-line computer database of behavioral information. The database might include, for example, videotaped images or audio-recordings of animals engaged in various types of behavior, measurements of the frequencies and contexts with which different sorts of behavior are produced, and useful techniques for collecting behavioral data from different species. It would also include software tools to link and extract information from existing databases, as well as to visualize and analyze the behavioral data effectively. The resulting database will help animal behavior researchers share their data with each other (n a search for general patterns), with researchers in other fields (e.g., genomics, neurobiology, ecology), and with the general public who are often fascinated by animal behavior. Funds will be used to host the workshop (travel expenses), to produce a prototype version of the database, and to share this prototype database with other behavioral researchers.

这项建议是主办一个研讨会，汇集动物行为和信息技术专家，设计一个在线计算机数据库的行为信息。例如，数据库可能包括从事各种类型行为的动物的录像带图像或录音，对产生不同类型行为的频率和背景的测量，以及从不同物种收集行为数据的有用技术。它还将包括软件工具，用于链接和从现有数据库中提取信息，以及有效地可视化和分析行为数据。由此产生的数据库将帮助动物行为研究人员相互分享他们的数据（搜索一般模式），与其他领域的研究人员（例如，基因组学、神经生物学、生态学），以及经常对动物行为着迷的普通公众。资金将用于举办研讨会（差旅费），制作数据库的原型版本，并与其他行为研究人员共享此原型数据库。
