Cumulative number of data packages in the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity until 2007-06-21

This data set records the cumulative number of data packages in the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB) data repository through 2007-06-21. A data package represents a set of data files and metadata files that together make a coherent, citable unit for some particular scientific activity. Each data package in the KNB is described by a scientific metadata document and can be composed of one or more data files that contain various segments of the data in question.

本数据集记录了截至2007年6月21日的生物复杂性知识网络（Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity，KNB）数据仓储内的数据包累计数量。数据包（data package）指一组数据文件与元数据文件的集合，二者共同构成可被引用且逻辑连贯的特定科学研究单元。KNB中的每个数据包均由一份科学元数据文档进行描述，且可由一个或多个数据文件组成，这些文件承载了所研究数据的不同分段内容。
