4 How do we. Discover, iden&fy and evaluate data? Integrate at local, regional & na&onal scales? Format for efficient use? Iden&fy what/where our cri&cal needs are? Tools Discover, understand what is available? Iden&fy what is needed and link to developers who can build them? Work Environment(s) Transcend tradi&onal barriers (security, policy, cultural, etc)? Address the needs of many partners with the minimum number of op&ons? Transfer science outputs into useful management informa&on? Please the broad array of users with common plalorms?

5 LC MAP: Landscape ConservaHon Management and Analysis Portal An integrated network of people, hardware and sowware: Tribes & First NaHons Feds Provinces UniversiHes NGOs States Public that facilitates real- Hme informahon sharing, processing, and delivery while honoring the contribuhons, mandates, and securihes of all partners

6 ConservaHon through IntegraHon Discovery & AcquisiHon Search broadly for source data Access common data themes (lineages, versions) Efficiently vet data for uses & limita&ons Analysis & Modeling Shared work environment for real- &me, distributed collabora&on Suppor&ng communica&on pieces an open door Automated metadata updates Storage & Sharing stored/delivered from readily accessible (and replicated) sources Common workspaces set up and managed for project- level data State- of- the- art documenta&on and data manipula&on tools security inherent in distributed system Delivery & Outcomes Integrated QA/QC tools Fine- tune control of data sharing and publica&on Flexible output formats, easily inges&ble by most data viewers User- friendly visualiza&on interface (coming soon!)

7 FWS Office of Science Applica&ons Holdback Funds Solicited proposal on 5 Themes, one was Integra&on Team of 39 authors submi[ed IDMN proposal PIs Tim Kern and Natalie Latysh (USGS), Jim Stri[holt (CBI) and Sean Finn (GNLCC) 9 LCCs represented LCC Integrated Management Network $221K allocated to IDMN, $171K matching & in- kind Deliverables, applicahon and documentahon standards that align with LCC partner programs and underlie all subsequent deliverables Comprehensive strategic framework guiding implementa&on of standards Full integrahon of LC MAP and Basin as the primary test case Scalable Project Tracking System (base) serve na&onal and LCC- specific project management needs Prac&cal User Guides suppor&ng integra&on applica&ons

9 The Path to IntegraHon Discovery & Access Documenta&on Standards Linked Repositories Needs Ques&ons Tool (Model) Stacking Common programming languages / environments Crosswalks built on common specifica&ons Decision Support & VisualizaHon File format and access standards Demonstrated applica&ons User support Tools Work Environments Analysis Tools Portals Monitoring & Adapta&on Interpreta&on Decision Applica&on Outcome

10 Developing the Network Topic Specific Work Teams using the technology as we apply it: Core Systems Standards and Prac&ces Integrated Services & Applica&on Portals User Needs and Delivery Knowledge Transfer Visualiza&on User Guides Project Tracking System Scalable from individual LCC to Na&onal Network Toolshed Script Archive (editable) Programmer Forum Needs Iden&fica&on Forum Review Panel Broad perspec&ve (i.e., partners) Independent tes&ng teams All deliverables will include a standards protocol, func5onal example, and user guide

11 Real World Problem Where should we priorihze rehab of fire- damaged riparian habitat? : GAP Protected Areas MODIS fire data Cu[hroat Loca&ons Services: GAP Feature Service USFS Feature Service LC MAP Repository Work Environments: LC MAP GIS Share LC MAP Repository Analysis Tools: Network Analyst Burn Severity Index Outcome Decision Support: Severity Model Applica&on Programming Interface Decision LC MAP Repository Visualiza&on
