DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dental informatics (Dl) is the application of computer and information science to improve dental practice, research, education and program administration. As an emerging discipline, it is crucial for enabling advances in dental research, practice and education. While Dl provides significant opportunities for improving processes and outcomes, current evidence indicates that those opportunities are not exploited to their full extent. The main reasons for this are (1) the small number of experienced Dl researchers; (2) the limited visibility of Dl projects; (3) the wide dispersion of the Dl research community; and (4) the absence of an open and worldwide forum for individuals interested in Dl. The goal of this project is to develop a virtual, global community for dental informaticians. We are building on our previous achievements in integrating informatics into the fabric of dental and craniofacial research. The NIDCR/NLM sponsored 2003 conference, Dental Informatics and Dental Research-Making the Connection", was a precursor to the proposed project in both its objectives and outcomes. The Online Community will provide a networking platform for people interested in Dl in order to promote the development of dental information resources, disseminate research results and encourage the formation of research and education partnerships. To achieve these goals, we propose the following specific aims: 1. Compile detailed requirements for the Dl Online Community based on an assessment of information needs of dental informaticians, researchers, educators and clinicians. 2. Implement the Dl Online Community targeting the following three audiences: (a) researchers focused on Dl who need to coordinate efforts and exchange best practices; (b) researchers from related disciplines, e.g. medical informatics, who need to find research partners and want to share information and resources; (c) non-informaticians, mainly dental and craniofacial researchers, educators and clinicians, who need informatics support for their research; (d) dental industry partners with interest in Dl who develop clinical and research tools and technology; and (e) the library and information sciences community and 3. Evaluate the Dl Online Community and its impact on Dl researchers using archival data and survey data.

描述（由申请人提供）：牙科信息学 (Dl) 是计算机和信息科学的应用，旨在改善牙科实践、研究、教育和项目管理。作为一门新兴学科，它对于推动牙科研究、实践和教育的进步至关重要。虽然深度学习为改进流程和结果提供了重要机会，但目前的证据表明这些机会并未得到充分利用。其主要原因是：（1）经验丰富的深度学习研究人员数量较少； （2）Dl项目的知名度有限； (3) Dl研究群体广泛分散； (4) 缺乏为对深度学习感兴趣的个人开放的全球论坛。该项目的目标是为牙科信息学家开发一个虚拟的全球社区。我们正在以之前的成果为基础，将信息学融入牙科和颅面研究的结构中。 NIDCR/NLM 赞助的 2003 年会议“牙科信息学和牙科研究 - 建立联系”是拟议项目的目标和成果的先驱。在线社区将为人们提供一个网络平台 对 Dl 感兴趣，以促进牙科信息资源的开发、传播研究成果并鼓励形成研究和教育伙伴关系。为了实现这些目标，我们提出以下具体目标： 1. 根据对牙科信息学家、研究人员、教育工作者和临床医生信息需求的评估，编制 Dl 在线社区的详细要求。 2. 针对以下三类受众实施 Dl 在线社区： (a) 专注于 Dl 的研究人员，需要协调工作并交流最佳实践； (b) 相关学科的研究人员，例如医学信息学，需要寻找研究合作伙伴并希望共享信息和资源； (c) 非信息学家，主要是牙科和颅面研究人员、教育工作者和临床医生，他们的研究需要信息学支持； (d) 对 Dl 感兴趣、开发临床和研究工具及技术的牙科行业合作伙伴； (e) 图书馆和信息科学界以及 3. 使用档案数据和调查数据评估 Dl 在线社区及其对 Dl 研究人员的影响。
