An On-Line Directory of Aquatic & Marine Scientists

一个电子的、在线的海洋科学家名录对海洋科学界和与这一社区合作的政府机构来说可能是一笔宝贵的财富。这一努力是为了进行为期一年的试点项目，以测试编制这样一个目录的可行性。海洋科学部的邮寄名单将用来确定诸如安装和维护费用、隐私问题以及其他机构和专业协会的合作和承诺程度等因素。该项目的成果将是一个经过更新和核实的数据库，欧共体将能够根据该数据库生成邮寄名单和标签，以及对全面在线目录的可行性作出合理判断所需的信息。

An electronic, on-line Directory of Marine Scientists could be a valuable asset to the Oceanographic scientific community and to the government agencies working with this community. This effort is to conduct a one-year pilot-scale project to test the feasibility of developing such a Directory. The Division of Ocean Sciences' mailing list will be used to determine such factors as set-up and maintenance costs, issues of privacy, and the extent of cooperation and commitment from other agencies and professional societies. The results of this project will be an updated and verified data base from which OCE will be able to generate a mailing list and labels and the information needed to make a reasonable judgement as to the feasibility of a full-scale on-line directory.//
