 History  Purpose  Scope  Audience  Functionality

 Bibliographic Data Mining in mid 1990s  Natural Resource Challenge (~2000)  NatureBib  Bibliographic Inventory  Closed system  Data Store  Base cartography  GIS data  Open system with public face  Systems functioned, but as silos  Integration of Resource Management Applications (IRMA -2007)  All natural resources systems will be integrated  Data Manager with the I&M program was hired in 2008 to redefine NatureBib and Datastore

 An application for managing references and the available information resources relevant to managing the National Parks’ natural resources

 Information used for the purpose of managing the Park’s natural resources  All types of information (includes the digital files)  Documents  Datasets  Multimedia  Projects  Collections  Specific to the NPS or more general information  Includes sensitive and proprietary information; varying degrees of quality  Full compliance with NPS standards for information exchange (NPS BibMAPS)

 Service-wide federated search engine  Replacement for other NPS Applications: Voyager, NPS Focus, eTIC, ANCS+, Cultural Resources applications, etc.  The NPS GIS clearinghouse  Replacement for desktop applications for creating and editing FGDC metadata  Project management application

 Tailored for  Park natural resources  Inventory and monitoring  Natural resources divisions  Regional natural resources  Natural resources GIS  No restrictions on use within NPS – open to all  Search  Create

 Spatial enabling of all information  Define a project and bundle related deliverables  Identity management  Unit Point of Contact/Unit Steward Role  Informal review  Control official park data  Create from XML upload  Auditing  Files up to 2 gb in size  REST/SOAP (next page)

 REST (read only)  Fetch Reference List  Fetch Reference  Fetch Holding Location/Digital File SOAP (read/write) - Reference Management Examples  Fetch References  Activate Reference  Save Reference  Quarantine Reference  Remove Reference  Upload Metadata

 Batch editing and upload/download  More robust geography  Link Reference to Linnaean taxonomy  Search via taxonomy  Personal Reference Collections  Saved personal queries  Support for EndNote  Personal comments and notations  Notification  Further integration with other NR applications (e.g., RPRS)  Further REST/SOAP support  Duplicate record detection  Versioning
