FishNet, and its successor, FishNet 2 (http://www.fishnet2.neT), have served the needs of researchers for quality data on fish specimens in research collections for the past 20 years. FishNet 2 currently comprises data from 75 institutions globally and provides researchers access to 4.8 million records, representing more than 50 million fish specimens. It is the most trusted source of information and specimens for scholarly research on fishes. However, the proprietary software on which the FishNet 2 was built has passed the end of its service life and needs to be updated. Updating FishNet 2’s operating system will require updates to the much of its software and other system components. The proposed project will completely rebuild all components of FishNet 2 using the latest technology and an Open Source environment. All components of the FishNet 2 cyberinfrastructure will be updated. The number of institutional data providers to FishNet 2 will be greatly expanded. The process of harvesting data from providers and processing the harvested data will be automated to keep the data up to date. We will also offer a variety of support services for FishNet 2 data providers. A dynamic, relational database design will be implemented with the flexibility to add data fields not currently reported to FishNet 2 users. A number of new search and results-reporting features will also be implemented. Lastly, new services will be added, including data quality assessment tools, a FishNet 2-specific R package (statistical computing and graphics software), a web forum for communicating with users and data providers, a FishNet 2 hosted data publishing (IPT) service and a new and improved FishNet2 Application Programming Interface (API).Notices on all project activities and all project products will be broadly disseminated to FishNet 2 data providers, software developers and members of the biodiversity informatics community through web forums, conference presentations, scholarly publications, and posts to the GitHub source code management service. We will provide training workshops on use of new FishNet 2 features to FishNet 2 data providers and users at ichthyological and informatics conferences. The FishNet 2 user base will be expanded to include educators and the general public by integrating data from FishBase and the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) into FishNet 2 results reporting, and by inviting educators to serve on a planned FishNet 2 Testing and Advisory Group. The Testing and Advisory Group will also involve FishNet 2 users and Tulane University Computer Science Capstone students, who will be engaged in platform design and code development for the project.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

鱼网及其后继者鱼网2（http://www.fishnet2.net）已满足了研究人员在过去20年中对研究收藏中鱼类标本的质量数据的需求。 Fishnet 2目前在全球75个机构中填写数据，并为研究人员提供了480万个记录，代表了超过5000万条鱼类标本。它是针对鱼类科学研究的最值得信赖的信息和标本。但是，建造的渔网2的专有软件已经通过了其服务寿命的终结，需要更新。更新Fishnet 2的操作系统将需要更新其许多软件和其他系统组件。拟议的项目将使用最新技术和开源环境完全重建鱼网2的所有组件。渔网2网络基础设施的所有组件将进行更新。鱼网2的机构数据提供商的数量将大大扩展。从提供商那里收集数据并处理收获数据的过程将被自动化以使数据保持最新。我们还将为Fishnet 2数据提供商提供各种支持服务。将实现动态，关系数据库设计，以灵活地添加当前未报告给Fishnet 2用户的数据字段。还将实现许多新的搜索和结果报告功能。最后，将添加新服务，包括数据质量评估工具，渔网2特异性R包（统计计算和图形软件），一个用于与用户和数据提供商进行通信的网络论坛，渔网2托管数据出版（IPT）服务（IPT）服务（IPT）服务以及新的和改进的Fishnet2应用程序计划范围和所有项目供应服务的项目和所有项目的项目。通过网络论坛，会议演讲，学术出版物和GitHub源代码管理服务的帖子，生物多样性信息社区的成员。我们将提供有关在渔网2数据提供商和ICTHYOLOGICE和信息信息会议上使用新渔网2功能的培训研讨会。通过将Fishbase和海洋生物多样性信息系统（OBIS）的数据集成到鱼网2结果报告中，并通过邀请教育工作者将渔网2用户群扩展到包括教育者和公众包括在内的渔网2测试和咨询小组。测试和咨询小组还将涉及Fishnet 2用户和Tulane University Computer Capstone学生，他们将参与该项目的平台设计和代码开发。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估通过评估来获得的。
