Planning and Preliminary Design of a World Virus Database (ICTVdb)

9505661布莱恩该奖项为世界病毒数据库的规划和初步设计提供支持。规划和初步设计将通过试验目前的标准和新制定的生物数据库互操作性准则来进行，以支持世界病毒数据库的设计。国际病毒分类委员会(ICTV)是国际微生物研究联盟病毒学分部的一个常设委员会，负责建立、维护和传播关于病毒分类的通用系统的信息。这样的系统可以用来解决系统学、比较生物学和生态学中的问题。将与其他主要生物数据库生产者密切合作，探索数据库结构设计、数据收集和传播方法，以落实一个新兴的数据库供应商联合会建议的概念。由于ICTVDB的跨学科兴趣和与遗传序列数据的密切联系，ICTVDB的开发可以为数据库互操作性软件工具的设计、测试和修改提供模式。

9505661 Blaine This award provides support for the planning and preliminary design of a world virus database. The planning and preliminary design will be pursued by experimentation with current standards and newly developed guidelines for biological database interoperability to support the design of a World Virus Database (ICTVdB). The International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), a standing committee of the Virology division of the International Union of Microbiological Studies, is charged with establishing, maintaining and disseminating information on a universal system for virus taxonomy. Such a system can used to address questions in systematics, comparative biology and ecology. Database structural design, data collection, and dissemination methods will be explored in close collaboration with other major biological database producers to implement concepts recommended by an emerging federation of database providers. Development of the ICTVdB, because of its interdisciplinary interest and close links to genetic sequence data, can provide a model for the design, testing and modification of software tools for database interoperability.
