The University of Wisconsin is awarded a grant for a workshop entitled "Cyberinfrastructure and the Dimensions in Biodiversity - Planning for Success," that will gather community input to define a vision, technical requirements, procedures, and approaches for the development of cyberinfrastructure (CI) supporting integrative research in biodiversity sciences. The workshop will convene an interdisciplinary group of scientists with CI expertise representing biology (including genetics, genomics and metagenomics, taxonomy and systematics, ecology), earth sciences, informatics, computer science, along with government agency and non-governmental organization representatives. The focus will be on identifying the requirements for software, middleware (as well as underlying standards and frameworks), computational capability, and other CI that will be needed or leveraged to support data-intensive research in an interoperable and integrated information environment. The outcomes of the workshop are intended to provide a set of community derived recommendations and lead to development of further strategy with an ultimate goal of providing improved support, usability, and sustainability of CI resources in biodiversity research community; one that is nimble, adaptable, and responsive to inevitable changes in the research and IT landscapes.The issues to be covered in this workshop address a broad cross-section of research in biological diversity. The discussion of CI in this context also has potential applicability to other data intensive science. Ultimately, the use of biodiversity information made available through an interoperable and integrated information infrastructure is likely to achieve broader applicability, use, and re-use.

威斯康星州的大学被授予一个研讨会题为“网络基础设施和生物多样性的尺寸-规划的成功，”将收集社区的投入，以确定一个愿景，技术要求，程序和方法的网络基础设施（CI）的发展，支持生物多样性科学的综合研究。 讲习班将召集具有传播和信息专长的跨学科科学家小组，代表生物学（包括遗传学、基因组学和宏基因组学、分类学和系统学、生态学）、地球科学、信息学、计算机科学，沿着还有政府机构和非政府组织的代表。 重点将是确定软件，中间件（以及底层标准和框架），计算能力和其他CI的需求，这些需求将被需要或利用来支持可互操作和集成信息环境中的数据密集型研究。 研讨会的成果旨在提供一套社区衍生的建议，并导致制定进一步的战略，最终目标是在生物多样性研究界提供更好的支持，可用性和CI资源的可持续性;一个灵活，适应性强，并对研究和IT领域不可避免的变化做出反应。本次研讨会将讨论的问题涉及广泛的交叉-生物多样性的研究。 在这种情况下，CI的讨论也有可能适用于其他数据密集型科学。最终，通过可互操作的综合信息基础设施提供的生物多样性信息的使用可能实现更广泛的适用性、使用和再使用。
