Improvement of Access to Academy of Natural Science

9408355美国自然科学院将对费城自然科学院硅藻植物标本馆(约184,000个条目)中所有加入的幻灯片进行计算机分类测定。这将需要大约1.4年的时间，需要2.0 FTE，其中科学院将提供0.6 FTE，用于计算机局域网管理、监督数据录入人员、核实条目、确定分类和进行命名升级。申请的1.4FTE经费用于数据录入。这些材料将用于与ANSP的生态学家协调开发一个生态数据库。硅藻专家群体越来越需要构建和分析大型数据库，以解决文化和自然对环境影响的更大问题。目前还没有关于水环境数据库的公布标准。

9408355 Theriot The Academy of Natural Sciences will computerize the taxonomic determinations for all accessioned slides in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia Diatom Herbarium (ca. 184,000 entries). This will take approximately 1.4 years requiring 2.0 FTE of which the Academy will supply 0.6 FTE for computer LAN management, supervision of data entry personnel, verification of entries, taxonomic determinations and nomenclatural upgrades. The requested funding for 1.4 FTE is for data entry. The material will be used in the development of an ecological database in coordination with ecologists at ANSP. There is a growing need within the diatomist community to construct and analyze large databases in order to address larger problems of cultural and natural effects on the environment. There are no published standards for aquatic environmental databases.
