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.

知识价值：全球草蛉数字图书馆（GLDL）构成了一个从未尝试过的关于昆虫超目神经翼目（草蛉、蚁狮及其盟友）的基本信息的数字合成。GLDL将以一种综合的方式汇集一个独特的全球综合，包括五个核心组成部分：(1)神经翼目世界目录；(2)神经类动物文献的综合参考书目；(3)神经翼类分类文献数字图书馆；(4)世界现存神经翼类成虫的数字密钥；(5)通过国际物种2000动态清单计划提供神经翼类名称和分类状况数据。作为世界神经病学社区的首要项目，GLDL将比近代史上任何其他项目在推进、组织和优先考虑这一群体的全球系统研究方面做得更多。更广泛的影响：正确识别生物有机体是所有生物科学和所有与生物有关的经济活动的基础。GLDL将为具有环境和经济意义的一大群（6850种）掠食性昆虫的全球生物多样性信息基础设施提供基础性的新贡献。该项目将为研究生和本科生提供参与生物系统学的机会。此外，它将提供一套新的数字工具，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和高效地探索当地的神经翼类动物群，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。
