The process of determining the availability or even the existence of Earth history data remains a time-consuming and error-prone enterprise because there are no centralized depositories or Web-enabled means for locating and retrieving data. The goal of CHRONOS is to unify current and future stratigraphic databases into a powerful system for producing a dynamic global time scale for Earth history and for understanding the complex relationships of past geologic, climatic and evolutionary trends. Web-services and an extensive on-line suite of toolboxes will allow global researchers and the general public to access, analyze and visualize chronostratigraphic information. Another goal is a vastly improved high-resolution geological time scale. A logical series of tasks is planned in order to accomplish these goals, with the ultimate goal being for all geoscientists to be able to apply the CHRONOS system of integrated databases for deciphering the complex interactions of the Earth system through all of geologic time. In addition to its primary goals of enabling networking of international databases and facilitating creative research, the CHRONOS outreach programs will promote education of Earth's fascinating history.

Ogg，（EAR-0313524）Bruce Wardlaw，美国地质调查局（EAR-0314415）摘要地球系统历史研究越来越多地取决于对多学科的分析，富有学科的分析。确定地球历史数据的可用性甚至存在的过程仍然是一个耗时且容易出错的企业，因为没有集中式存放物或启用Web的手段来查找和检索数据。计时的目的是将当前和未来的地层数据库统一为一个有力的系统，用于为地球历史产生动态的全球时间尺度，并了解过去的地质，气候和进化趋势的复杂关系。网络服务和广泛的在线工具箱套件将使全球研究人员和公众能够访问，分析和可视化年度地层学信息。另一个目标是高分辨率的地质时间尺度。为了实现这些目标，计划了一系列逻辑上的任务，最终目标是使所有地球科学家都能够应用集成数据库的计时系统，以通过所有地质时间来解密地球系统的复杂相互作用。除了它促进国际数据库网络并促进创意研究的主要目标外，《计时》推广计划还将促进对地球迷人历史的教育。
