9632672 Humphries The original NEODAT data base project was the first large-scale effort to build a centralized multi-institutional collection catalogue in ichthyology. This effort was aimed at improving the infrastructure for, and facilitating access to, computerized collections resources with a specific focus on Neotropical fishes. There are two primary emphases in this renewal proposal. The first is to continue the progress of the NEODAT project in accumulating and distributing catalogue-based specimen data, and associated literature and species descriptions. The second emphasis is to create a network-based infrastructure for Neotropical ichthyology, incorporating technological advances made in Internet access methods since the original grant was funded. Currently, there are nearly 300,000 catalogue records from over 74,000 localities in the NEODAT system. The system receives approximately 800 searches per month. Additional records are now available, and when entered the database will have over 450,000 catalogue records. The technological advances in Internet services allow for greater user-friendly service to those using the database. Thus, as part of the second goal, software and hardware modifications will be implemented to improve the utility of the database. NEODAT is an important international, multi-institutional cooperative effort. All products of this effort are made available to the international scientific and lay communities through the Internet. In addition, this project, in particular, can serve as a model for other large-scale database development efforts.

9632672 Humphries原始的NEODAT数据库项目是在鱼类学中建立集中式多机构收集目录的第一个大规模努力。这项努力旨在改善基础设施，并促进与新热带鱼类特别关注的计算机收集资源的访问。该更新提案中有两个主要重点。首先是在累积和分发基于目录的标本数据以及相关文献和物种描述方面继续进行Neodat项目的进步。第二强调是为新热带鱼类学创建一个基于网络的基础架构，将自原始赠款资助以来，将技术进步纳入了互联网访问方法中。目前，NEODAT系统中有74,000多个地区有近300,000个目录记录。该系统每月接收大约800次搜索。现在可以使用其他记录，当进入数据库时​​，将拥有超过450,000个目录记录。 Internet服务的技术进步允许使用数据库提供更多的用户友好服务。因此，作为第二个目标的一部分，将实现软件和硬件修改以改善数据库的实用性。 Neodat是重要的国际，多机构合作的努力。这项工作的所有产品均可通过互联网提供给国际科学和外行社区。此外，特别是该项目可以作为其他大规模数据库开发工作的模型。
