  12. Current Challenges within NBII: • Distributed Data Sets • Vast Amounts of Information • National Focus of NBII • Varying Customers & User Capabilities • Information Technology Explosion • Limited Resources

  13. Definition: NBII is to be considered a fully digital, distributed, and interactive system that allows a vast community of users access to the nations biological holdings.

  14. Conceptual Framework: Customers Researchers, Scientists, Program Managers, Resource Managers, Educators, Industry, Public Content Biodiversity, Species, Systematics, Ecosystems, Habitats, Collections, Organizations, Education, Data Tools Search Service Agents Translations Data Analysis Tools URL Registry Metadata Input Biology News Feeds Content Data & Information Repository Standards, Vocabulary, Hardware/Software Infrastructure Controlled & Secure Network

  15. NBII Regional Nodes:Integrating local and regional interests in a national context. Node activities: • Analytical capabilities • Technology support • Synthesis capabilities • Data warehousing • Collaborations • Training

  16. The Internet Today: 75 million U.S. users 35% said Internet has replaced TV on daily basis 100 million users worldwide Internet spending will grow from $11.8 billion in 1999 to $43 billion world-wide in 2002 Source: Cyberlok Technologies
