Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The rapidly growing amount of biological data on the internet and the increasing need for large-scale analyses mandate improvements to the management of taxon-centric information. This information, traditionally managed by taxonomists, is now transforming into a web-based infrastructure. The complexity and narrative quality of the biological sciences require an information management framework that is sensitive to the scale, richness, character, and heterogeneity of the discipline. Given that the names of organisms offer us a nearly universal system for indexing biological data objects, a names-based cyberinfrastructure has the capacity to index the totality of available biological information and to aggregate taxon-centric data over a broad scale. In order to serve its role, this infrastructure should incorporate thirteen principles that are proposed here. |
