Fumre data collection efforts supported by the <br />2815 GCMRC will incorporate strict data standards and protocols that provides consistency in <br />2816 data collection, storage, and delivery from disparate sources. <br />2817 Delivery of electronic content will be automated where possible using user-friendly <br />2818 World Wide Web browser interfaces. Library content, while not deliverable across the <br />2819 Internet, will be cataloged and searchable electronically utilizing similar interfaces, <br />2820 Electronically warehoused data will conform to the National Information <br />2821 Infrastructure (Nll), the National Biological Information Infrastrucmre (NBm, and the <br />2822 National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI), Guidelines and protocols promulgated by <br />2823 these infrastructures will be incorporated into the overall database design and delivery <br />2824 systems whenever possible. <br />2825 DBMS, GIS, and library operations together form the core information system <br />2826 infrastrucmre for storing and retrieving information at the GCMRC. Data standards and <br />2827 protocols ensure the quality and compatibility of the information contained within those <br />2828 systems. World Wide Web browsers provide inmitive, consistent interfaces to the <br />2829 information. However, information technology at the GCMRC goes beyond the content and <br />2830 delivery of information. In addition, the ITP also provides: <br />2831 . computer support to GCMRC staff, <br />2832 . survey support to researchers, <br />2833 . outreach to stakeholders, scientists, and the public, and <br />2834 . evaluation and development of remote sensing applications. <br />2835 These ancillary services augment the core information infrastrucmres by providing the <br />2836 support, training, technology transfer, and development necessary to provide a <br />2837 comprehensive ITP. <br />2838 <br />2839 Information Flow <br />2840 The ITP becomes involved with scientific investigations at the point of contract <br /> <br />November 5, 1998 <br />Second Draft - Do Not Cite, Photocopy, or Distribute <br />
