Data Mining
 |
The Mojave Network is working to provide additional natural resource background information for the network parks via data mining activities.
The I&M Program requires a thorough Data Mining Project. There are three primary goals of the MOJN Data Mining efforts. The initial purpose was to collect reference evidence of all vascular plant and vertebrate species believed to occur within each park. The second goal of the Data Mining Project is to capture information relevant to the remaining 10 basic inventories. Funding for this aspect of Data Mining has come primarily from funds allocated through the efforts of the Monitoring. The third purpose of the Data Mining Project is to find and catalog data relating to natural resources within or in the vicinity of each park. This information will be useful in developing the monitoring plans for the parks.
The Mojave Network has completed the first year of it's data mining activities. The Data Mining Team (DMT) has compiled the fiscal year 2007 activities and results into a report that is now available for review.

The network is working from the reference document of protocols for data mining developed by the Klamath Network; that discusses the role, techniques, and priorities of data mining within a network for the initial Phase I of data mining activities (Klamath Network Phase I Data Mining Protocol, KBAM!). These activities focus predominately on the finding, evaluating, and cataloging of reference materials to enhance the evidence records for vascular plants and vertebrates within the I&M NPSpecies application tool. The network has also commenced inventoring all reference materials related to the natural resources and invertebrate and non-vascular plants in our network parks (Klamath Network Phase II Data Mining Protocol).
