Project Summary The Geological Society of America (GSA) has been approached by the Biogeosciences Working Group and asked to prepare a proposal to design, build and host an independent, stand-alone Web site in support of the entire biogeoscience community. In Task I, www.biogeoscience.org is envisioned as a conduit through which information would flow to the biogeoscience community from funding agencies, program managers, societies, and others. In Task II, the Web site would be enhanced and expanded to support community building and dialog that will help guide and shape scientific discourse. At this time, GSA is seeking funding for Task I of the project. Presently, there is no single source of information about biogeoscience funding opportunities, current research, centers of activity and other important resources. There is a need for a clearinghouse, a principle source of information about the biogeosciences. A wealth of information is available, and an easy to use, main source of up-to-date information is needed. Defining the architecture and constructing the Web site will be the responsibility of a project team composed of members of the Biogeosciences Working Group, GSA staff and a student intern. The project team will conduct most of its work via teleconference and E-mail and may hold face-to-face meetings during scientific meetings attended by members of the team. In Task I, the Web site would function as an information resource. A wide range of information would be posted, updated frequently, and made compelling with features on research, people or programs. Other content that will pull traffic would be job postings and funding announcements. An important Task I function is search capability that will make the Web site as useful as possible to site visitors. In addition, the site would contain meta tags to ensure that search engines would easily find it. In Task II, it is envisioned that the Web site would become an interactive, community-building, dialog site. The Working Group has identified three broad topics that it will examine and about which it needs input from the community. Initially, these topics will be the focus of input sought from the community. GSA is very well qualified to undertake this project for the Working Group with NSF support. GSA has many years of experience with creating and developing useful, easily navigated, and very attractive Web sites. GSA continually adds functionality and interactivity to its own Web site, www.geosociety.org. GSA is thoroughly familiar with the geoscience community and can bring much knowledge about the needs, wants and preferences of the community to the project. www.biogeosciences.org will serve this emerging science in several ways: it will attract new researchers to the biogeosciences, support those already in the field, and help both the biogeosciences and its scientists flourish.

项目概述生物地球科学工作组已与美国地质学会(GSA)接洽，并要求其准备一份提案，以设计、建立和主持一个独立的、独立的网站，以支持整个生物地球科学界。在任务I中，www.biogeoscience.org被设想为一个渠道，通过该渠道，信息将从资助机构、项目经理、协会和其他机构流向生物地质科学界。在任务二中，网站将得到加强和扩展，以支持社区建设和对话，这将有助于指导和塑造科学论述。目前，GSA正在为该项目的任务I寻求资金。目前，没有关于生物地球科学资助机会、当前研究、活动中心和其他重要资源的单一信息来源。有必要建立一个信息交换中心，这是有关生物地理科学的主要信息来源。有大量的信息可用，而且需要一个易于使用的最新信息的主要来源。一个由生物地理科学工作组成员、GSA工作人员和一名学生实习生组成的项目小组将负责确定体系结构和构建网站。项目小组的大部分工作将通过电话会议和电子邮件进行，并可能在小组成员参加的科学会议期间举行面对面的会议。在任务一中，网站将发挥信息资源的作用。广泛的信息将被张贴，频繁更新，并通过研究、人员或项目的特点使其具有说服力。其他会吸引流量的内容将是招聘信息和资金公告。任务I的一个重要功能是搜索功能，它将使网站对网站访问者尽可能有用。此外，该网站将包含元标签，以确保搜索引擎能够轻松找到它。在任务二中，设想网站将成为一个互动的、社区建设的对话网站。工作组确定了它将审查的三个广泛议题，并需要社会各界就这些议题发表意见。最初，这些主题将是向社会征求意见的重点。GSA非常有资格在国家科学基金会的支持下为工作组承担这一项目。GSA在创建和开发有用的、易于导航的、非常有吸引力的网站方面拥有多年的经验。GSA不断增加其网站www.geosociety.org的功能和互动性。GSA对地球科学社区非常熟悉，可以为项目带来许多关于社区的需求、愿望和偏好的知识。Www.biogeosciences.org将以几种方式为这一新兴科学服务：它将吸引新的研究人员进入生物科学，支持已在该领域的研究人员，并帮助生物科学及其科学家蓬勃发展。
