Taxonomic monographs are comprehensive treatments of organismal groups that include descriptions of the appearance of species, estimates of their geographical range, rationale for their delimitation, and details of their genealogical relationships and patterns of diversification. The critical baseline data on biodiversity included in taxonomic monographs can be used by biologists and non-experts alike. While other aspects of systematic biology research have embraced cutting-edge methodologies and analysis pipelines, many monographs are produced and published the same as they have been for decades. This project will support a series of workshops to engage the systematic biology community and identify strategies to reinvigorate and modernize taxonomic monographs. Four workshops will identify and incorporate innovations in computing, data visualization, and workflows to provide solutions to systemic and scientific challenges facing monographic research. The workshops will catalyze conversations and build collaborations that will strengthen and broaden the practice of monography. Invitations to participate in the workshops will be posted on the websites of professional societies with systematic biologist members, and participants will be selected with the goal of achieving breadth in expertise, career stage, gender and ethnic diversity. Products resulting from the workshops will be broadly and freely disseminated via scientific publications and websites.These workshops aim to realize the potential for taxonomic monographs to become central hubs that link and synthesize biodiversity information, with improved access to detailed phenotypic and geographic data, more dynamic, nuanced, and integrated taxonomies, and fully explicit, accessible, and testable hypotheses about organisms, their attributes, and their diversification. In addition to stimulating interactions among systematists who conduct monographic studies in diverse taxonomic groups and among systematists who work on questions that are or could be integrated into monographs, these workshops will engage the community of database scientists, computational biologist, software developers, and others to find novel solutions to the challenges of data access and integration. The workshops will culminate in a synthesis and consolidation of the ideas developed in the preceding workshops, aimed at building prototypes of tools, workflows, and structures that can be tested and improved by the broader community of systematic biologists. The technological and conceptual developments that will be integrated into monography will make the data of monographs more accessible and impactful across fields, and the interdisciplinarity that will be fostered by engaging database scientists, computational scientists, and software developers will support long-term and innovative solutions that capitalize on the integrative and comprehensive perspectives of taxonomic monographs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

分类学专著是对生物类群的综合处理，包括对物种外观的描述，对其地理范围的估计，其划界的基本原理，以及它们的谱系关系和多样化模式的细节。分类学专著中关于生物多样性的关键基线数据可供生物学家和非专家使用。虽然系统生物学研究的其他方面已经采用了尖端的方法和分析管道，但许多专著的制作和出版与几十年前一样。该项目将支持一系列研讨会，以参与系统生物学社区，并确定重振和现代化分类专著的策略。四个研讨会将确定并整合计算、数据可视化和工作流程方面的创新，为专题研究面临的系统和科学挑战提供解决方案。这些研讨会将促进对话和建立合作，从而加强和扩大专著的实践。参加讲习班的邀请将在有系统生物学家成员的专业学会的网站上公布，选择参加者的目标是在专业知识、职业阶段、性别和种族多样性方面实现广度。讲习班的成果将通过科学出版物和网站广泛和自由地传播。这些研讨会旨在实现分类专著成为连接和综合生物多样性信息的中心枢纽的潜力，改善对详细表型和地理数据的访问，更动态，更细致，更综合的分类，以及关于生物，其属性和多样性的完全明确，可获取和可测试的假设。除了促进在不同分类学群体中进行专题研究的系统学家之间的互动，以及研究已经或可能集成到专题研究中的问题的系统学家之间的互动之外，这些研讨会还将吸引数据库科学家、计算生物学家、软件开发人员和其他人的参与，以寻找应对数据访问和集成挑战的新解决方案。这些研讨会最终将综合和巩固在前几次研讨会中发展起来的思想，旨在建立工具、工作流程和结构的原型，这些原型可以由更广泛的系统生物学家社区进行测试和改进。技术和概念的发展将整合到专论中，这将使专论的数据在各个领域更容易获得和更有影响力，而由数据库科学家、计算科学家和软件开发人员参与培养的跨学科性将支持长期和创新的解决方案，这些解决方案将利用分类学专论的综合和全面的观点。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
