A Decade Ago…….A Decade Ago…….

• In 1997, the Forest Service set out on a significant undertaking to:– Set agency wide standards for natural

resource information• Data collection• Data storage• Data management

– What emerged was something called NRIS

The NRIS StoryThe NRIS Story

• What is NRIS– Set of databases and

tools for• Vegetation• Soils & Geology• Air & Water• Fauna• Threatened,

Endangered, Sensitive (TES)

• Invasives• Social & Economic

• Field Sampled Vegetation (FSVeg) Module– Oracle database to store data from:

• Stand Examinations (CSE)• Grid based strategic inventories• Permanent re-measured inventory plots• Special insect & disease surveys

FS-NITC and I-WebFS-NITC and I-Web

• National Data Center in Kansas City

• Entire Agency’s data in one physical location

• Virtual Private Database (VPD)

• E-Authentication

• Change Management– Should be easier/quicker to incorporate

changes (fixes, enhancements, etc…)
