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
