On October 24-28, 2005 the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) convened all of the node coordinators, developers, and partners for a five-day information exchange. The NBII is a collaborative program providing access to high-quality databases, information products, and analytical tools maintained by NBII partners and other contributors on the Nation's biological resources. The Southwest Information Node (SWIN), developed at the USGS Fort Collins Science Center, was showcased and hosted the meeting in Albuquerque, NM. Sessions included content organization and management, public portal topics, technical issues and innovations, node application and site integration, and node accomplishments.
