Internet Issues Unable to access all sites concurrently Search engines frequently “miss”
relevant sites No reliable determination of quality of
information Non-discriminating and numerous “hits”
with traditional search engines

Questions for the perspective users
What kind of information would you want?
What kind of information will you provide?
What kind of “meta-information” is needed?
Which terminology do you use? Do you use special semantics?

Questions for the prospective organizations
What should the collection policy be?What training is needed? For whom?What are the organization’s financial and funding capabilities?
Who does data management?What expertise is available (including time)?What resource equipment is required? Available?Who are the customers? Why?

Things learned from Task 1
work is project-based primary product is information: assessments,
studies, surveys, environmental impact statements multiple agencies are involved each agency serves as information gatherer;
information broker; information consumer even though information is a primary product,
information technology is secondary (stewardship of the land is the primary mission)
