 Information Management in LTER Network

Information Management in LTER

LTER information managers see the importance of bringing leading edge capabilities in computing, communications, and information science to benefit and drive advances in ecological science. By recognizing that
  • Ecological Information Systems are Dynamic, in a continual state of evolution and refinement, and
  • Ecological Informatics is an area of active research, as well as a discipline that supports ecological research,
LTER Information Managers are preparing to meet the challenges of the next century. Activity areas that are having broad reaching impact include:
  • Metadata content standards for ecology
  • Published guidelines for managing research data
  • Development of Network Information System modules
  • Work with "Centributed" data dissemination models
  • National and international training in information management
  • Sponsoring and participating in symposia and other outreach
