Data Management

Help Documents for the National I&M Databases

There are several databases and tools developed and managed at the national level that the KLMN utilizes to develop and provide information to park staff, the scientific community, and the public. Databases include: NatureBib, NPSpecies, NPS Data Store, and NPStoret. Some of the tools developed at the national level that the Klamath Network relies on are: Dataset Catalog, NPS Metadata Tools and Editor, NPS Database Metadata Extractor, and the Natural Resource Database Template. If you require assistance or specific information not listed here, please contact the Network's Data Manager. To provided assistance in using these tools, the Network had begun to develop several step-by-step documents on how to implement these products. We welcome any comments and suggestions as to how to improve these instructions.
