World Archives of Sciences Community Group Proposed

The World Archives of Sciences Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

 The internet has been considerable development in the world has led to
an exponential growth in the number of online documents by scientists.
In this sector, the current trend seems to be to digitize all funds
scientific libraries and sample Museums and this internationally. Many
of these documents: articles, monographs, academic work, digitized
specimens and videos are now available online, but remained scattered on
the canvas. They do not allow quick consultations and consolidation of
information.
The new generation of scientists studying species biodiversity,
taxonomy, protection, conservation and many other natural sciences,
wants more access and use these documents remotely and for free. They
suffer, however, that some problem: too wide dissemination of data and
information. 


 To meet this expectation, we collect (for 10 years) and archive it all
these documents in a single point:
WAS World Archives of Sciences: WAS-Archives.org : Biodiversity,
Zoology, Botany, Taxonomy, Entomology, Paleontology, Geology, Natural
History
WAS contributes to the development of Knowledge and World Heritage. It
allows the recognition of scientific organizations (Museums,
Universities...). He participated in an ambitious scientific archiving,
Museums becoming true mine of information as well as the Libraries or
Documentation Centers. In addition to the departments of Natural
History: Zoology, Botany, Taxonomy, Entomology, Paleontology, Geology
and Natural History, WAS also archive the academic work of
Administrations, Professional Associations, Commercial Societies,
Non-Profit Foundations and Universities that become our natural partners
and complete the panorama of available public sources of sciences.

Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and
people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer
be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:
