Data Management
"A primary purpose of this program [Inventory and Monitoring] is to develop, organize, and make available natural resource data and to contribute to the Service's institutional knowledge by facilitating the transformation of data into information through analysis, synthesis, and modeling." (from the peer review guidance for the monitoring plan reviewers).
Good data management is critical for preserving the security, integrity and reliability of data. Our program emphasizes data management, including all phases of data handling (collection, entry, review, summarization, archival), as integral to our monitoring efforts. This section will have information on data management activities and standards for the network. There will also be access to data produced by the I&M Program.
