Dear Listers
This is a news item that we trust will be of interest to all fish
technologists.
If you are interested, please contact us, particularly if you wish to
participate further.
On behalf of our undermentioned partners, I would like to bring to your
attention a summary of our progress on the Fish Technology Knowledge Base
that has been set up in the open Community Directory, oneFish. The full
text of the progress report can be found at

Summary
A Fish Technology Knowledge Base
(www.onefish.org/global/fishtechnology.jsp) was set up, in response to the
views of fish technologists worldwide, in the oneFish Community Directory,
an open-access Internet portal for all fisheries research, oneFish,
supported by FAO, is an established platform, suitable for hosting a global
fish technologists' network. Some 38,000 bibliographic records and other
documents covering most aspects of fish technology, and linked to the
Utilization and Technology Worldview in oneFish (www.onefish.org/id/424),
form the core of the Knowledge Base. New records are being added as part
of the EC project QLRI-CT2000-00216 and the FAO-SIFAR work programme.
It is now possible for organisations and individuals to rapidly export, to
the Knowledge Base, records (single, multiple or database) in a suitable
format. This new facility makes it much easier to up-date the Knowledge
Base, encourage expansion of the Network of contributors, and enhance the
information available to users. Anyone interested in participating should
contact Dr Nesvadba at the address above. The full text of the progress
report can be found at <http://www.onefish.org/id/160963>.
We look forward to hearing from you.
With Best Regards to All
