Information Management and Communication
Improve information management and sharing among the UCFWG and other entities doing research, restoration and remediation in the UCFR basin.
Objective 1
Enable procurement, storage and sharing of prioritized electronic information among UCFWG participants and relevant partners through a web-based platform that will be maintained through interaction with the Montana Institute on Ecosystems and MT CREWS programs.
Working Hypotheses
A lack of a system that allows for easy data exchange among UCF stakeholders limits efficient and effective delivery of research results, fails to fully support decision making and results in duplicated effort.
Recommended Activity
- Use the web-based platform to share contact and distribution lists, along with information on UCFWG including the Strategic Plan.
- Enable the web-based platform to act as a depository for documents, pictures, and transient data sets to alleviate limitations to information exchange among collaborators.
- Include within the web-based platform capacity for metadata storage and links to relevant data sets as defined by individual projects.
