Data Management

Network Data Management Documents

The Klamath Network has developed a series of documents that provide the details on how data are managed by the Network. In the winter of 2007, the Network completed our Data Management Plan. This plan provides an outline describing:

• The goals and objectives of the KLMN Data Management Program.
• The roles and responsibilities each member of the Network has towards data management throughout each phase of a project.
• How KLMN personnel will prioritize our time and funding towards data management activities based on information needs outlined in monitoring protocols and inventory projects.
• Details of the infrastructure the Network will utilize to create, store, maintain, and disseminate data and information.
• The methods the KLMN will follow to manage data throughout all phases of the data lifecycle.

In addition to the Data Management Plan, the Klamath Network has developed a series of guideline documents that can be used to develop the data management sections of monitoring protocol and inventory study plans.
