The Global Lacewing Digital Library: Delivering the Core Taxonomic Resources of the Neuropterida of the World (Insecta: Neuroptera, Megaloptera, Raphidioptera) via the WWW.

智力优势：全球草蛉数字图书馆（GLDL）是一个从未尝试过的关于昆虫总目Neuropterida（草蛉，蚁狮及其盟友）的基本信息的数字合成。GLDL将以综合的方式汇集五个核心组成部分的独特全球综合：（1）脉翅目世界目录;（2）脉翅目文献的综合书目;（3）脉翅目分类学文献的数字图书馆;（4）世界现存脉翅目属成虫的数字检索表;（5）世界现存脉翅目属昆虫的数字检索表。（5）通过国际物种2000年动态清单倡议提供脉翅目名称和分类地位数据。作为世界神经翅类学界的一个最优先项目，GLDL将比近代历史上任何其他项目都更能推动、组织和优先考虑世界范围内对这一群体的系统学研究。更广泛的影响：生物有机体的正确识别是所有生物科学和所有与生物相关的经济活动的基础。GLDL将为全球生物多样性信息基础设施提供一个基本的新贡献，涉及一大类（6850种）具有环境和经济意义的捕食性昆虫。该项目将为研究生和本科生提供参与生物系统学科学的机会。此外，它还将提供一套新的数字化工具，使世界上生物多样性丰富但生物多样性信息贫乏的地区的研究人员能够更有效地探索当地的脉翅目动物群，并在这些地区的生物多样性进一步减少之前提高发现和科学描述新物种的速度。

Intellectual Merit: The Global Lacewing Digital Library (GLDL) constitutes a never-before-attempted digital synthesis of fundamental information on the insect superorder Neuropterida (lacewings, antlions and their allies). The GLDL will bring together in an integrated manner a unique global synthesis of five core components: (1) a world catalogue of the Neuropterida; (2) a comprehensive bibliography of neuropterid literature; (3) a digital library of neuropterid taxonomic literature; (4) digital keys to the adults of the world's living neuropterid genera; and (5) delivery of neuropterid name and taxonomic status data through the international Species 2000 Dynamic Checklist initiative. As a top-priority project of the world's neuropterological community, the GLDL will do more to advance, organize and prioritize worldwide systematics research on this group than any other project in recent history.Broader Impacts: The correct identification of biological organisms is fundamental to all biological sciences and all biologically-related economic activities. The GLDL will provide a fundamental new contribution to the global biodiversity information infrastructure for a large group (6850 species) of environmentally and economically significant predatory insects. The project will provide opportunities for the involvement of graduate and undergraduate students in the science of biological systematics. Additionally, it will provide a new suite of digital tools that will empower researchers in biodiversity-rich, yet biodiversity-information-poor, regions of the world to more effectively and efficiently explore their local neuropterid faunas and increase the rate at which the discovery and scientific description of new species can occur - before the biodiversity of such regions is further diminished.
