摘要:
Scientists within the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network have provided leadership in ecological informatics since the inception of LTER in 1980. The success of LTER, where research projects span wide temporal and spatial scales, depends on the quality and longevity of the data collected. Scientists have devised data collection, data entry, data access, QA/QC and archiving strategies for ensuring that high quality data are appropriately managed to meet the needs of a broad user base for decades to come. The LTER cross-site Network Information System (NIS) is being developed to foster data sharing and collaboration among sites.
