Sharing Data Between the NatureServe Network and the NPS: Requirements and Data Management Solutions
NatureServe. 2006. Sharing Data Between the NatureServe Network and the NPS: Requirements and Data Management Solutions. NatureServe
One of the goals of this project was to identify potential strategies to keep the natural heritage data that the NETN has acquired current as well as a mechanism for the Park Service to submit recent observations to NatureServe’s member programs. This is intended to ensure that data acquired by either NatureServe, the member programs, or the National Park Service NETN is shared, and that the datasets held by either organization contain the most current available information for the Appalachian Trail (and potentially other parks in the NETN jurisdiction). NatureServe will present the requirements, potential costs, and the advantages and disadvantages of implementing these strategies in this report.
