NBII-2 The Next Generation
Next Generation NBII-2 is to be considered a fully digital,distributed, and interactive system that allows a vast community of users access to the nations biological holdings. President’s Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology, 1999
NBII Nodes NBII Nodes serve an overall framework for all biological information on regional and national levels by providing: Analytical capabilities Technical support Synthesis capabilities Data warehousing Data mining Collaboration Training
Challenges • Distributed data sets • Vast amounts of information • NBII national focus • Varying customer capabilities • Limited resources • “Bridging” the IT & biological communities
NBII Nodes Vision Participants NBII Thematic Nodes Universities National Laboratories Centers of Expertise NGO’s Societies Private Industry Federal Agencies NBII Program Office NBII Clearinghouse Nodes NBII Regional Nodes
Implementation Approach • National Program Office • Program Manager • Technology Manager • Regional staff • Content Manager • Marketing/Outreach Manager • Executive Director • Thematic Nodes • Clearinghouse Nodes • Regional Nodes • National Laboratories • Universities • Centers of Expertise • NGO’s • Societies • Private Industry • Federal Agencies
NBII-2 Thematic Nodes Node Activities: • Provide location for coordination, management, and dissemination of data and information related to North American bird fauna. • Provide fisheries information in a single location from the latest research to real-time stream-flow data to fishing statistics and species profiles.
