OZ: Deploying a Community Software Application for Biocollections Information

摘要 该项目将迎接生物收集的根本挑战 社区：实现捕获、管理、集成和 为研究、教育、资源传播样本数据 管理和公共政策。 该项目将部署、开发和 支持基于社区的生物收集数据应用程序套件 这将为一个稳定、安全和可扩展的 信息基础设施。 此应用程序的1.0版，称为 OZ，已开发 资金，并将免费发放和分发给生物收藏界。 OZ被设计为一个社区数据库模式和应用程序 用于微软Win95和NT操作系统的捕获套件， 维持、整合和传播计算机化的生物技术 收集数据。OZ是一个多分类数据库管理系统 植物、鱼类、两栖动物、爬行动物、鸟类、哺乳动物 昆虫、一般无脊椎动物和古生物学收藏。 盎司 功能/特性包括：完全可定制的用户界面 屏幕;所有标准收集事务;本地、直接SQL和 对数据的在线Web查询访问--所有这些都受到安全保护， 系统;定制报告、发票和标签;以及用户手册。 最重要的是，生物收藏界正在积极 提供信息和指导， OZ，由PI、共同PI、项目经理和 大学顾问委员会 堪萨斯自然历史博物馆（KLINHM）。社区合作伙伴和 OZ的合作者 包括美国生物多样性信息组织 OBI），许多MUSE 圣地亚哥超级计算机中心（San Diego Supercomputer Center） 自然历史博物馆， 荷兰莱顿发展 OZ是一个更大的USOBI信息学倡议的一部分， 支持软件工具，用于将生物收集数据与其他 生物、地理空间和气候数据集。KUNHM的承诺 该项目包括为PI创建新职位， 项目经理

ABSTRACT This project will meet fundamental challenge for the biocollections community: enabling the capture, management, integration and dissemination of specimen data for research, education, resource management and public policy. The project will deploy, develop and support a community-based applications suite for biocollections data that will provide the foundation for a stable, secure and scalable informatics infrastructure. Version 1.0 of this application, called OZ, has been developed funding and will be released and distributed at no charge to the biocollections community. OZ has been designed as a community database schema and application suite for Microsoft's Win95 and NT operating systems for the capture, maintenance, integration and dissemination of computerized biological collections data. OZ is a multi-taxonomic database management system supporting data from plant, fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, mammal, insect, general invertebrate, and paleontological collections. OZ functions/features include: fully customizable user interface screens; all standard collections transactions; local, direct SQL and on-line web query access to the data--all protected by a security system; custom reports, invoices and labels; and a user manual. Most importantly, the biocollections community is actively informing and guiding the development of OZ, which is overseen by the PI, co-PI, a Project Manager and an Advisory Board at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum (KLINHM). Community partners and collaborators in OZ's development include the US Organization for Biodiversity Information CUSOBI), many MUSE installations, the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands. Development of OZ is part of a larger USOBI informatics initiative to build and support software tools for integrating biocollections data with other biotic, geospatial and climatic data, sets. KUNHM's commitment to this project includes creation of new positions for the PI and Project Manager.
