中国生物多样性数据资源现状分析

Status analysis of biodiversity data resources in China.

为查明我国生物多样性数据资源分布、类型、规模和管理的现状，在１９９６年４月，采用调查表、现场访问和研讨会等方法首次对我国１０３个国家级机构的生物多样性数据资源进行了调查。结果表明，１０３个机构共拥有生物多样性数据集１６０个，从机构分布来看，约７０％的数据集分布在专业研究所和大学；从信息类型来看，约６９％的数据集是关于物种信息；从数据集形式和建立途径来看，约６０％的数据集以数据库、文献集和标本３种形式储存，野外调查是建立数据集的最主要途径；从管理手段来看，全部和部分采用计算机管理的数据集约占４６％；从获取途径来看，通过现场、出版物、磁盘或磁带获取的数据集约占７８％。最后，通过对调查结果的综合评价，指出目前我国生物多样性数据管理和利用中存在的薄弱环节。

In order to identify distribution, type, size and management of data resources in China, survey of biodiversity data resources distributed in 103 institutions at state level were first conducted through questionnaries, on site visit and workshop in April 1996. Results showed that 160 datasets from 103 institutions were found, 70% of them held by institutes and universities, 69% for species, 60% in the form of bibliographic collections, databases and specimens, field survey being main means to build datasets, 46% full and partly managed by computer, 78% access through published material, diskette or tape and on site. Finally, based on comprehensive assessment of survey results, weak links in biodiversity data management and use were emphasized.
