T1 - Building an electronic scientific community
AU - Schatz, Bruce R.
N1 - Funding Information:
This paper is based upon a joint proposal with Samuel Ward, chairman of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology,. who introduced me to the worm community and has supported me at the University of Arizona. The initial prototype was implemented jointly with Scott Hudson. Planning for this project was supported by a Small Grant for Exploratory Research DIR-9003540 from the National Science Foundation; I thank John Wooley for his continuing support. The project itself is now supported by NSF IRI-9015407, from the Computer Science Directorate through the Initiative in Coordination Theory and Collaboration Technology and from the Biological Science Directorate through the Division of Instrumentation and Resources.

N2 - The Community Systems project is building an electronic scientific community, by collecting "all" the knowledge of a scientific community into a digital library and developing the systems technology to transparently manipulate this library over nationwide networks. The community members are scientists studying the nematode worm C. elegans, a model organism in molecular biology. The community system will encode their knowledge into an information space, with the goal of supporting retrieval and annotation of formal and informal data and information for any biologist with a personal computer and a NREN connection. This paper introduces community systems, the worm community and its knowledge, technology and sociology solutions, and an evolving prototype with plans for its propagation.
