Considerable tabular attribute data exists as part of these data sets, These data sets are known as "base data." In addition, there exist other GIS data sets, which were constructed as part of past GCES supported investigations and delivered as part of a final product. These data sets are known as "contributor data," The base and contributor GIS coverages represent a significant effort by GCES that may have broad application for research and monitoring being conducted in the Grand Canyon. Efforts are now underway to catalog, describe and distribute base and contributor data, All coverage tabular attribute data will be linked to the ORACLE data base for easy data storage and retrieval. Presently, the GIS group is working to increase the GIS coverage of the Colorado River ecosystem by using state-of-the-art mapping techniques discussed under the remote sensing and survey operations. The GIS will be the workhorse behind the analysis of the remotely sensed data; hence, significant investments in hardware and software will be required to support the Remote Sensing Program. The GIS will be the consolidating tool of remotely sensed data to allow for integrating data and assessing impacts (B.O.R. Report: R-95-I4) and will require a $90,000 investment for software, hardware and consulting. Funding will be provided by the remote sensing evaluation funds and subject to future revision. The GIS program is committed to the principles and objectives of the Nn and NSDI. As such, guidelines and protocols promulgated by these infrastructures will be incorporated into the overall program design and development with specific consideration given to GIS metadata standards. All contributor and in-house data received will have the appropriate metadata generated and stored within the DBMS. "-:,. , " , :~ ,., ~~ ~: :-) (.
