ABSTRACTUnifying Chronostratigraphic Databases WorkshopChristopher Keane and Steven StanleyEAR-0224582The American Geological Institute proposes to convene a workshop to bring together a number of the groups working on chronostratigraphic databases. The primary goal of the workshop is to establish the framework for a consortium of scientific entities that will undertake a sustained effort to continually recalibrate the time scale, while simultaneously reassessing its relationship to a wide variety of geologic data and temp[oral patterns through a coordinated data system of geologic time. Through the workshop, participants will identify the nature, similarities, and issues facing each chronostratigraphic effort currently underway. A well calibrated, properly applied geologic time scale is essential to our understanding the evolution of the Earth, including the ages of rocks and fossils, timing of major events in earth history, and rates of natural processes. The workshop will examine the needs of a range of end-users of a coordinated data system dealing with geologic time. By establishing a list of primary end-user needs as well as issues facing each organization, an effective plan for building a coordinated data system of geologic time can be effectively constructed.

统一年代地层数据库工作坊克里斯托弗·基恩和史蒂文·斯坦利EAR-0224582美国地质学会提议召开一次研讨会，将从事年代地层数据库工作的一些小组聚集在一起。讲习班的主要目标是建立一个科学实体联合体的框架，该联合体将作出持续努力，不断重新校准时间比例表，同时通过一个协调的地质时间数据系统，重新评估其与各种地质数据和临时表的关系。通过研讨会，与会者将确定目前正在进行的每一项年代地层学工作的性质、相似性和面临的问题。一个校准良好、应用恰当的地质时间尺度对于我们理解地球的演化是至关重要的，包括岩石和化石的年龄、地球历史上重大事件的时间安排和自然过程的速度。讲习班将审查处理地质时间的协调数据系统的一系列终端用户的需求。通过建立主要最终用户需求以及每个组织面临的问题的清单，可以有效地构建一个有效的计划，以建立一个协调的地质时间数据系统。
