2014-04-28

According to ‘the twelfth five-year information and literature service development plan’, the project of knowledge integration platform for improving sustainable information services has been set up by National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The purpose of the project is to build up a knowledge information model to benefit CAS overall and to improve information and literature service abilities at the institute level.

The information and literature service centre of Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIGE) was assigned the project of knowledge integration platform for improving information service abilities at the field research station level. It was planned to set up the platforms in at least six field research stations of XIGE. The project was proposed to be completed within a year and half. Once being set up, the platforms would be very good places for the field stations to display their research development and results.

Up to 22 April 2014, four platforms had been built up at four field research stations. The project had been discussed for Qira National Field Research Station, Mosuowan Station for Desert Research and Bayanbulak Research Station for Desert Steppe Ecosystem. A field research was done by the project members in the middle of April 2014 in Taklimakan Station for Desert Research. The project was very welcomed by the field research stations. Suggestions and advices were given on aspects as overall framework, key columns, organization and implementation plans and the post development targets etc.

Based on the requirements of each field research station, the project would be improved in framework and contents in order to achieve the expected targets.
