2. Overview I am looking for the best datasets to visualize in Spotfire that come from Vertica and the TEAM Site. For example I see at: http://www.teamnetwork.org/products/gishttp://www.teamnetwork.org/products/gis GIS Datasets I could download by agreeing to the Agreement (which I did) and others that say: Supplementary GIS Data (for select sites) TEAM Network Members only Your account does not currently have Network Member privileges. So should I request permission to work with those? Riwanda: http://www.teamnetwork.org:28080/gridsphere/gridsphere?cid=downloadhttp://www.teamnetwork.org:28080/gridsphere/gridsphere?cid=download Got a few examples of spreadsheets Lidar: http://www.teamnetwork.org/data/lidarhttp://www.teamnetwork.org/data/lidar Got a few examples of images and PDF Metadata Camera Trap: http://www.teamnetwork.org/camera-trap-downloadshttp://www.teamnetwork.org/camera-trap-downloads Got an example of JPEGs I tried: http://www.teamnetwork.org/gridsphere/gridsphere?cid=searchhttp://www.teamnetwork.org/gridsphere/gridsphere?cid=search And got a popup message that said the file was 132 MB and an email would be sent to download it. I got the 10 MB ZIP download file just now and it looks useful. Did I miss anything here and are there any other data download sites like TEAM? 2

14. Conclusions and Recommendations I Data Mined for the best datasets to visualize in Spotfire that come from Vertica and the TEAM Site. The data sets, and their metadata, required extraction from ZIP files and some reformatting for input to Spotfire. I built a MindTouch Knowledge Base and a Spotfire Dashboard to analyze 12 data sets in CSV, Excel, and Shape file formats. The results are shown in 7 Spotfire Tabs with dynamically linked adjacent visualizations. I need Conservation International Subject Matter Expertise to help interpret the Spatial Data and suggestions for more data sets for Data Science. 14
