The University of California-San Diego is awarded a grant to create a research coordination network to promote and integrate standards for genomic and metagenomic data and metadata within an international community. The network is based on the existing Genomic Standard Consortium and will be extended under this award to include ecological data standards such as Ecological Metadata Language, biodiversity standards such as Darwin Core, and environmental research programs such as the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network and Long Term Ecological Research. Genome enabled research has transformed biological sciences for the entire breadth of scales from molecular to ecosystems. Expanding and fully incorporating early consensus building, technical standards and the institutional commitments inspired and implemented by the Genomic Standards Consortium, the creation of this RCN for the Genome Standards Consortium (RCN4GSC) will ensure a worldwide, community driven process for establishing standardized mechanisms for the electronic capture of genomic data and for obtaining willingness to participate; these are essential to ensure effective use of the sequence and associated data, to provide access for all biologists to all of the information, and to create interdisciplinary opportunities for discovery. Intense collaborations around the maturation of GCDML, Genome Rosetta Stone and the Genome Catalogue will be an early focus. Productivity will be sustained year round by routine A.V. and web-enabled interactions, including small working group sessions and collaborations via the RCN's extant web hub at http://gensc.org. The activities will expand ongoing coordination required for implementation, including the Genome Catalog, GCDML, Genome Rosetta Stone software, Habitat-Lite and Environmental Ontology, and the eJournal "Standards in Genomic Sciences". The RCN will also sustain and build upon the very active, ongoing, two-way exchange between LTER and GSC, interactions arising from common goals. The RCN4GSC will be an open organization, welcoming inspired biologists with a commitment to community service, and will increase participation from Asia and the USA. Coordination with professional societies and communication to federal and foundation stakeholders will be among strategies for expanding participation; these will be managed by the Communications Committee, who will focus on enlisting further diversity in participation and in reaching out to young biologists.

加州大学圣地亚哥分校获得一笔赠款，用于创建一个研究协调网络，以在国际社会内促进和整合基因组和元基因组数据和元数据的标准。该网络基于现有的基因组标准联盟，并将根据本奖项进行扩展，包括生态元数据语言等生态数据标准、达尔文核心等生物多样性标准以及全球湖泊生态观测网络和长期生态研究等环境研究计划。基因组研究改变了从分子到生态系统的整个范围内的生物科学。扩大并充分纳入由基因组标准联盟启发和执行的早期共识建立、技术标准和机构承诺，为基因组标准联盟(RCN4GSC)创建这个RCN将确保建立一个世界范围的、社区驱动的进程，以建立电子捕获基因组数据和获得参与意愿的标准化机制；这对于确保有效利用序列和相关数据、为所有生物学家提供获取所有信息的途径以及创造跨学科的发现机会至关重要。围绕GCDML、基因组Rosetta Stone和基因组目录的成熟展开的密切合作将是早期的重点。生产力将通过例行的A.V.和网络互动保持全年，包括小型工作组会议和通过RCN现有的网络中心http://gensc.org.进行的合作这些活动将扩大实施所需的持续协调，包括基因组目录、GCDML、基因组Rosetta Stone软件、生境-Lite和环境本体论以及电子期刊“基因组科学标准”。区域协调中心还将维持和加强长期、长期和长期的双向交流，以及基于共同目标而产生的互动。RCN4GSC将是一个开放的组织，欢迎致力于社区服务的有灵感的生物学家，并将增加来自亚洲和美国的参与。与专业协会的协调以及与联邦和基金会利益攸关方的沟通将是扩大参与的战略之一；这些将由传播委员会管理，该委员会将侧重于在参与和接触青年生物学家方面争取更多的多样性。
