"The Biodiversity Analysis Pipeline"

这个NSDL服务项目正在开发生物多样性分析管道（BAP），这是一个开源应用程序，允许任何人-从学生到教育工作者或公民到科学家-对主要多样性数据进行新颖的分析，然后通过协作社区共享这些分析。该项目的智力价值包括允许用户通过直观和丰富的Web界面提供新信息。该项目的更广泛影响包括将Web 2.0方法引入生物多样性社区，其中包括所有年龄段的学生、正式和非正式教育工作者、各州和联邦机构的土地管理人员以及生态和保护生物学研究人员。由于BAP直接访问主要的生物多样性数据中心，因此它可以作为如何使用一系列数据源和NSDL Pathway项目的模型。

This NSDL services project is developing the Biodiversity Analysis Pipeline (BAP), an open-source application, to allow anyone - from students to educators or citizens to scientists - to create novel analyses of primary diversity data and then share these analyses through a collaborative community. The intellectual merit of the project includes allowing users to contribute new information by providing them access through an intuitive and rich Web interface. The broader impacts of the project includes introducing Web 2.0 methodologies into the biodiversity community, which includes students of all ages, formal and informal educators, land managers in a variety of state and federal agencies, and ecological and conservation biology researchers. Because BAP directly accesses major biodiversity data hubs, it serves as a model for how to use a range of data sources and NSDL Pathway projects.
