Goal as a Data Manager
Is to have a comprehensive automated information
system that will integrate all data including
geographic, tabular, text, and image data from a
variety of sources to enable modeling of real and
theoretical situations for management of all park
resources. Data management and GIS are
considered a resource for park management and
will be available to all park divisions.

Spatial and Tabular Data Needs

• VS Monitoring Protocol (MOJN_NRD)
• Data Manager
• GIS Specialist
• Programmer
• Dataset Integration (Data Mining Team)
• Enterprise Architectures
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
• Vital Signs Internet Mapping Services (VSIMS)
• Enterprise Geographic Information Management (DOI
  EGIM)

Data Mining Efforts

• The data mining team invests a large amount of
  time effort into the population of the IM
  applications and wed like to see staff and
  cooperators continue to populate them, and reap
  the benefits.
• Ideally park staff would incorporate these tools
  (its servicewide) as they do PMIS, IDEAS, etc
• Datasets and protocol development

NPS (IM) Applications and IRMA
15
IRMAIntegration of Resource Management
Applications
NRPC will begin transition to service-oriented
architecture (SOA), starting with NPSpecies,
NatureBib, and the NPS Data Store.
This is a process, not another application
16
New Natural Resource Program Center IT Policy

• NRPC will
• integrate all applications (starting with
  NatureBib, NPSpecies, and the NPS Data Store)
• eliminate redundant data storage
• streamline standard functions across applications

17
Natural Resource Program Center
NRPC will create a central web portal, a single
sign-on system, and a common user interface for
all natural resource applications.

Greatly Appreciate
Your time and expense to travel here. Your
continued support and cooperation The opportunity
for myself to work with you all. It is an
exciting challenge to bring together an
Information Management System for the Mojave
Parks and Network. Robert Truitt, Mojave Network
