Stanford University is awarded a grant to enhance an existing biological knowledge resource known as Open WetWare that enables researchers to organize and disseminate protocols, interim and negative results, and contextual metadata generated during the execution of bench biology research. The system provides a groupware type of collaborative environment that is currently used by 1000 users in 60 labs. The specific tasks are to establish leadership and technical infrastructure under a sustainable model, develop additional tools for expanding the types and organization of knowledge that is managed by the system, and implement a Wiki-based framework for distributing and supporting the software. Establishment of OWW as a community resource will enable collaboration, promote better practices for data documentation and sharing, aid development of educational materials, and provide bench biologists with meta-level linkages to other biological knowledge resources.

斯坦福大学获得了一笔赠款，用于增强现有的生物学知识资源，即开放式湿件，使研究人员能够组织和传播方案、临时和否定结果，以及在执行工作台生物学研究期间产生的上下文元数据。该系统提供了一个群件式的协同环境，目前有60个实验室的1000名用户使用。具体任务是在可持续模式下建立领导和技术基础设施，开发更多工具以扩大系统管理的知识类型和组织，并实施基于维基的框架来分发和支持软件。建立OWW作为社区资源将促进合作，促进数据记录和共享的更好做法，帮助开发教育材料，并为工作台生物学家提供与其他生物知识资源的元级联系。
