2.  Need to discover, share, have access to large holdings of data and information to address rapid climate change  e. g., geospatial data, imagery, water quantity & quality, soils, vegetation, invasive species, land cover and use, status and trends of plant and animal populations, to name a few  Multiple scientific and resource management disciplines  Multiple scales, multiple agencies  Data are stored at thousands of locations in a variety of formats; many methods needed to access them  Most of the data and information we need exists or will exist in databases and sources outside of the DOI

4.  Ken Salazar’s Secretarial Order #3289 (September 14, 2009)  Titled “Addressing the Impacts of Climate Change on America’s Water, Land and Other Natural and Cultural Resources”  Emphasis on climate change science, adaptation, and mitigation  Requires that critical data be shared among scientists in many groups and in many different organizations  Established teams to figure out how to implement

5.  Data System Design Team - Focused on the development of the information system architecture, systems integration and system implementation and operations  Integration, Observations and Assessments Team - Identifying the necessary common data sets needed to identify key environmental indicators and address resource management issues. Provide guidance for developing standards for the collection, use and assessment of information

6.  Ensure a cohesive strategy for observations and data management  Chartered to develop a strategy, design and implement plan  An integrated research and long-term observing network built on an alliance of existing and new DOI and partner programs  An enterprise data discovery, integration, and management system for organizing, synthesizing and disseminating information

9.  …the National Park Service – Natural Resource Program Center’s Natural Resource data and Information Portal (NRInfo Portal) has been identified as having the core capabilities upon which the enterprise solution can be based. While this solution is currently primarily focused on the needs of the National Park Service, it has been developed with a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach that is in line with the enterprise solution…and it should provide the capabilities to deliver immediate term results as well as a platform to support future needs…  …the NR Info solution upon which the Enterprise Service Bus will be established also has core data catalog capabilities that employ the Dublin Core standard. Thus, by leveraging this standard and the NR Info catalog capabilities, the Enterprise Information Solution can be implemented in a more rapid manner…
