Guidelines developed by NPS Inventory & Monitoring networks for managing data. This document is intended as a reference that guides and complements the specific procedures that are developed by each network. This plan outlines the I&M Program’s approach to establishing and maintaining systems that serve the data management needs of the networks, their member parks, and the national I&M Program. It is intended to be a guide for current and future network staff, to ensure the continuity and documentation of data management methods and procedures, to establish best practices, and to provide a baseline of standards common to all networks.
