This project will be host a Biodiversity Conference in New York City from November 6-9, 2010 for the purpose of creating a blueprint for a coordinated mission of species exploration, inspiring public participation, and assessing impacts on science and society. This conference will assemble leaders from such diverse fields as taxonomy, ecology, evolutionary biology, biomimicry, computer engineering and grid computing, sustainability, climate change, history, and sociology. National and international perspectives will be represented as well as views of scientists involved in several related biodiversity initiatives, including the CollectionsWeb RCN, BHL, Encyclopedia of Life, CBoL, and PBI projects. The workshop will explore needs with regard to collections infrastructure, cyberinfrastructure, digitization, and the workforce; strategic goals to rapidly accelerate rate of species discovery by an order of magnitude; and strategic guidelines for assessing community needs over the decade ahead.

该项目将于2010年11月6日至9日在纽约市举办生物多样性会议，目的是为物种探索的协调使命制定蓝图，鼓励公众参与，并评估对科学和社会的影响。本次会议将汇集来自不同领域的领导人，如分类学，生态学，进化生物学，仿生学，计算机工程和网格计算，可持续发展，气候变化，历史和社会学。将代表国家和国际观点以及参与几个相关生物多样性倡议的科学家的观点，包括CollectionsWeb RCN，BHL，生命百科全书，CBoL和PBI项目。该研讨会将探讨收集基础设施，网络基础设施，数字化和劳动力方面的需求;迅速加快物种发现速度的战略目标;以及评估未来十年社区需求的战略指导方针。
