The Vision: Data Management & Sharing

Objectives:1. LCC data management

guidance2. Workflows for project metadata

harvesting and delivery3. Platform and training for GIS

data storage, viewing, manipulation, & collaboration

4. Infrastructure for delivery of Desert LCC information products

Data Management: “Data Life Cycle”

How will Desert LCC research data be collected, documented, preserved, shared, and integrated?
