Online Ethics Codes Project

这个项目将把职业道德研究中心图书馆中保存的大约850份道德规范以纸质形式放到万维网上，并提供关键字搜索索引和使用指南。这些代码将按主题和发行机构进行索引，并将包括一个关键字搜索引擎，用户可以通过输入任何他们想要的关键字来检索文档。超文本链接将提供给发布机构，其他在线道德资源，以及介绍准则的指导性概述，并就如何最好地使用这些准则提供指导。这些准则本身是有用的，是教学、研究和专业发展的宝贵文件。研究人员可以通过研究不同版本的代码来研究一个职业的历史；通过分析道德规范，学生通常可以找到一个很好的立足点来研究职业道德；而专业工程师、科学家和其他试图为自己的领域创建或改进道德准则的人，往往需要其他准则的例子来学习和建立。项目负责人将写一篇介绍性文章和一份用户指南，解释如何将代码用于教学、研究和专业发展。如果道德准则的发起机构有一个WWW页面，或一个gopher，将创建超文本链接，将代码连接到其发起机构。这将使专业人士和学生都能更多地了解专业协会及其成员。这样的网页和网页上通常有重要委员会成员的电子邮件地址和电话号码。因此，学生、研究人员和专业人员之间的交流将得到促进，并将创造专业发展的机会。

This is a project that will put approximately eight hundred and fifty codes of ethics held in paper form by the library of the Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions on the World-Wide Web (WWW), along with keyword searchable indexes and guidelines for use. The codes will be indexed by subject and by issuing agency, and will include a keyword search engine which will allow users to retrieve the documents by entering any keyword they wish. Hypertext links will be provided to issuing agencies, to other on-line ethics resources, and to an instructional overview introducing the codes and providing guidance about how best to use them. The codes are useful in themselves and are valuable documents for teaching, research, and professional development. Researchers can study the history of a profession by studying different versions of codes; students can often find a good toehold for research into professional ethics by analyzing a code of ethics; and professional engineers, scientists, and others who are trying to create or improve a code of ethics for their own field often need examples of other codes to learn from and build on. The project leader will write an introductory essay and a User Guide explaining how codes can be used for teaching, research, and professional development. If the originating agency of a code of ethics has a WWW page, or a gopher, hypertext links will be created which connect the code to its originating agency. This will allow professionals and students alike to learn more about the professional association and its membership. Such web pages and gophers usually have e-mail addresses and phone numbers for significant committee members. Thus communication among students, researchers and members of the profession will be facilitated, and opportunities for professional development will be created.
