The University of Wisconsin is awarded a grant for a workshop entitled "Cyberinfrastructure and the Dimensions in Biodiversity - Planning for Success," that will gather community input to define a vision, technical requirements, procedures, and approaches for the development of cyberinfrastructure (CI) supporting integrative research in biodiversity sciences. The workshop will convene an interdisciplinary group of scientists with CI expertise representing biology (including genetics, genomics and metagenomics, taxonomy and systematics, ecology), earth sciences, informatics, computer science, along with government agency and non-governmental organization representatives. The focus will be on identifying the requirements for software, middleware (as well as underlying standards and frameworks), computational capability, and other CI that will be needed or leveraged to support data-intensive research in an interoperable and integrated information environment. The outcomes of the workshop are intended to provide a set of community derived recommendations and lead to development of further strategy with an ultimate goal of providing improved support, usability, and sustainability of CI resources in biodiversity research community; one that is nimble, adaptable, and responsive to inevitable changes in the research and IT landscapes.The issues to be covered in this workshop address a broad cross-section of research in biological diversity. The discussion of CI in this context also has potential applicability to other data intensive science. Ultimately, the use of biodiversity information made available through an interoperable and integrated information infrastructure is likely to achieve broader applicability, use, and re-use.

威斯康星大学获得了授予“网络基础设施和生物多样性的维度 - 成功的计划”的研讨会，该研讨会将收集社区的投入，以定义愿景，技术要求，程序和方法，以开发Cyber​​infrasture（CI）支持生物多样性研究中综合研究。 研讨会将召集一个跨学科的科学家小组，具有代表生物学的CI专业知识（包括遗传学，基因组学和元基因组学，分类学和系统学，生态学），地球科学，信息学，计算机科学，以及政府机构和非政府组织代表。 重点将放在确定软件，中间件（以及基础标准和框架），计算能力以及其他CI的要求上，这些要求将需要或利用，以支持在可互操作和集成的信息环境中支持数据密集型研究。 研讨会的结果旨在提供一组社区派生的建议，并导致进一步的战略制定，最终的目标是在生物多样性研究社区提供改善的支持，可用性和CI资源的可持续性；敏捷，适应性和对研究和IT景观的不可避免的变化的反应。本研讨会中要涵盖的问题涉及生物多样性研究的广泛横截面。 在这种情况下，对CI的讨论也可能适用于其他数据密集型科学。最终，使用可互操作和集成信息基础架构提供的生物多样性信息可能会实现更广泛的适用性，使用和重复使用。
