Funds are provided to The Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History to conduct a workshop with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Board of Directors in May 2008 on collections-related issues. The workshop will strengthen the focus on the importance of systematics as a component of NEON, and foster discussion and planning on research uses of NEON data. Additionally, the workshop will foster interchange among ecologists and systematists regarding the best possible collections to develop from NEON domains. This interchange should maximize the intellectual benefit of NEON, reinforcing the important connections within the research community and enable it to use NEON resources to advance ecological knowledge.Specifically, the workshop will address the kinds of collections to be made from NEON?s 20 domains that will best serve NEON?s aims, and the standards, methods, protocols, and responsibilities for partnering institutions that will serve as repositories for associated specimens and data. The workshop participants will conduct sessions to resolve issues including the need to develop and test inventory methods; details of standards for specimens, vouchers, and data; details regarding collections facility needs; need for taxonomic support and training of parataxonomists; and, development of an electronic virtual type collection. Long-term issues needing consideration included issues of ownership, long-term care, and permitting. The proposed workshop will address all of these considerations through brief lectures and related breakout discussions, resulting in written recommendations and a final report to the NEON Board of Directors.

向史密森学会国家自然历史博物馆提供了资金，用于在2008年5月与国家生态观测网络（氖）董事会举办一次关于收藏相关问题的讲习班。讲习班将加强对系统学作为氖组成部分的重要性的重视，并促进对氖数据的研究用途的讨论和规划。此外，研讨会将促进生态学家和系统学家之间的交流，探讨从氖领域开发的最佳收藏品。这种交流应该最大限度地提高氖的智力效益，加强研究界的重要联系，使其能够利用氖资源来推进生态知识。最适合氖的20个域名？的目标，以及标准，方法，协议和合作机构的责任，将作为相关标本和数据的存储库。研讨会的参与者将举行会议，以解决问题，包括需要制定和测试库存方法;标本，凭证和数据的标准细节;关于收集设施的需求细节;分类支持和副分类学家培训的需求;以及电子虚拟类型收集的发展。需要考虑的长期问题包括所有权、长期护理和许可问题。拟议的研讨会将通过简短的讲座和相关的分组讨论来解决所有这些问题，并向氖董事会提出书面建议和最终报告。
