项目摘要

As knowledge of biological science requires compilation of a large amount of relevant information, which has been rapidly increasing in recent years, databasing of this information will be an essential feature of biology in the upcoming century. Distributed, public-domain databases (DPDD) on the Internet offer solutions to the problems that hinder the compilation of information.DPDD will especially play an important role in taxonomy where researchers have had difficulty in accessing information because of the widely scattered type specimens. We constructed a color image database for Japanese ants in cooperation with the Myrmecological Society of Japan, in which type specimens are replaced with digitized color images which are replicable without any loss of information. We also construct Protist Information Server compiling various images of protists which were produced in the course of investigations. Ant database contains about 600 images of japanese ants and their taxonomical descriptions (7600 files, 117M bytes). On one hand, protist database contains 2120 images of various protists speices and related data (13000 files, 866 M bytes).Our databases are not only accessible from the Internet but also available on CD-ROM (hybrid-version for Macintosh, Windows95, UNIX). Until now, more than 4000 disks for both databases have been delivered to many researchers, school-teachers (primary, middle, high), and others.

由于生物科学知识需要汇编大量的相关信息，近年来这些信息迅速增加，这些信息的数据库将是即将到来的世纪生物学的一个重要特征。因特网上的分布式公共领域数据库（DPDD）解决了阻碍信息汇编的问题，尤其是在模式标本分散、研究人员难以获取信息的分类学领域，DPDD将发挥重要作用。我们构建了一个彩色图像数据库的日本蚂蚁与Myrmecological社会的日本，其中模式标本被替换为数字化的彩色图像，可复制的信息没有任何损失。我们还建立了原生生物信息服务器，收集了调查过程中产生的各种原生生物图像。蚂蚁数据库包含大约600张日本蚂蚁的图片和它们的分类描述（7600个文件，117 M字节）。一方面，原生生物数据库包含了2120幅不同种类的原生生物图像和相关数据（13000个文件，866 M字节），我们的数据库不仅可以通过Internet访问，而且还可以通过CD-ROM（Macintosh，Windows95，UNIX的混合版本）访问。到目前为止，这两个数据库的4000多个磁盘已经交付给许多研究人员，学校教师（小学，初中，高中）和其他人。
