Biological science is one of the top ten social trends, with the twenty-first century defined as the "Age of Biology". One of the central themes of this age is biodiversity. Biodiversity is the richness of life, including the variety of genes within one species through the complex interconnection of all life within an environment. It is necessary to document and understand the world's natural heritage. The management of the many kinds of information associated with this endeavor is biodiversity informatics. There are many efforts developing worldwide to collect and distribute this information in digital collections. Some of these efforts are complementary; some are in conflict, some are just independent. To enhance the utility of this information, it needs to be integrated. There are a number of different kinds of users of the information, including the public and government agencies. The panelists convened for this public forum will discuss different perspective on the construction of global biodiversity digital libraries from the perspective of different goals and uses.

生物科学是十大社会趋势之一，21世纪被定义为“生物时代”。这个时代的中心主题之一是生物多样性。生物多样性是指生命的丰富性，包括一个物种内基因的多样性，通过一个环境中所有生命的复杂相互联系。记录和了解世界自然遗产是必要的。与此相关的多种信息的管理就是生物多样性信息学。世界各地都在努力收集和分发这些信息。其中一些努力是互补的；有些是在冲突，有些是独立的。为了增强这些信息的效用，需要对其进行集成。有许多不同类型的信息用户，包括公众和政府机构。本次公共论坛的与会嘉宾将从不同目标和用途的角度，探讨构建全球生物多样性数字图书馆的不同视角。
