The National Park Service's Information Management Strategy, Infrastructure, and Software Applications

Overview of Data Strategy (big picture) NPSpecies – Biological Data Warehouse Applications, Partnerships, & Beyond Final Thoughts & Recommendations

Natural Resource Challenge Conduct Baseline Inventories –GIS / Base Cartography –Bibliographic –Natural History Collections –Legacy Data Initiate Ecological Monitoring

Design Issues Decentralized System –~270 Parks with NR data –Nine regional offices… and more sub- offices –Maine to Guam Multiple Needs –Natural Resources Management –Interpretation –Maintenance, Compliance, Permitting…

Observations A record in which event (date/time, observer, etc.) and location information of an organism occurrence is permanently catalogued, but no physical evidence of the organism is collected.

Vouchers An observation record in which physical evidence of the organism (specimen, audio recording, photograph, etc.) is also collected, cataloged and archived along with the permanent cataloging of event and location information.

References Traditional documents such as publications and reports that document the occurrence and/or status of organisms in parks. Cataloged in NatureBib NPSpecies records linked to NatureBib references Primary References Preferred –Doe, John Small Mammal Inventory of Katmai NP. Secondary References Okay –Birds of North America Field Guide

Standard Classification System TSN (Taxonomic Serial Number) –Unique number for every scientific name of each rank (kingdom,…, genus, species, subspecies, …, forma) ITIS-Managed Names –Permanent –Positive TSNs NPS-Managed Names –Semi-permanent –-500,000 to -900,000 TSNs Temporary Names –Temporary –Negative numbers excluding -500,000 to -900,000
