Numerous databases, rich media archives, and educational projects focused onanimal behavior are now Internet-accessible. However, each site has adoptedits own vocabulary for cataloging its resources and there is currently nomechanism to translate between them. This project funds two successiveworkshops to create an international metadata standard that will allow usersto search across all of these sites and locate similar resources regardlessof local catalog names and structures. The meetings will convene experts inanimal behavior, zoo management, conservation, and metadata architecture tocreate a draft standard and design protocols for crosstalk between eachdatabase and the standard. The drafts will be circulated through relevantnewsletters, journals, and at society meetings worldwide for review andcomment. The second workshop will pool comments from all of these sourcesinto a final draft to be mounted on multiple websites and advertised insuitable journals. This project is a key step towards providing worldwidebut integrated access to the increasing diversity of animal behaviorarchives by students, educators, researchers, conservation and wildlifemanagement staff, zoos and aquaria, and both public and commercial media.

许多数据库、丰富的媒体档案和专注于动物行为的教育项目现在都可以通过互联网访问。然而，每个站点都采用了自己的词汇表来编目其资源，并且目前没有机制在它们之间进行翻译。该项目资助了两个连续的研讨会，以创建一个国际元数据标准，使用户能够在所有这些网站上搜索，并找到类似的资源，而无需本地目录名称和结构。会议将召集动物行为、动物园管理、保护和元数据架构方面的专家，以创建一个标准草案，并为每个数据库和标准之间的串扰设计协议。这些草案将通过相关的通讯、期刊和世界范围内的学会会议分发，以供审查和评论。第二次研讨会将汇集所有这些来源的意见，形成一个最终草案，将在多个网站上发布，并在不合适的期刊上刊登。该项目是向学生、教育工作者、研究人员、保护和野生动物管理人员、动物园和水族馆以及公共和商业媒体提供全球首次综合访问日益多样化的动物行为档案的关键一步。
