Digital Government: Harvesting Information to Sustain Our Forests

delcambre, Lois M.Oregon研究生院数字政府：收集信息以维持我们的森林历史上，森林管理实践的目标是最大限度地提高收成，扑灭火灾，并创建一个共同年龄和物种的地块。最近，人们日益认识到，管理森林必须反映广泛的地方、区域和国家目标，包括生态、经济、社会和娱乐目标。这项研究将是大学研究团队和适应性管理区域项目之间的合作，这是一个多机构倡议（美国农业部林业局，美国内政部的两个机构，土地管理局和鱼类和野生动物管理局）设计和原型一个“适应性管理门户”，使适应性管理信息以开放，自然和有用的方式提供给所有对林地感兴趣的各方。一个关键的技术问题是“叠加信息”（覆盖在基础资源集上的信息）能在多大程度上帮助实现这些目标。特别感兴趣的是基于森林实践领域常用术语的专题组织，以及任意用户能够用可能对其他人有用的自己的注释、链接和整理来扩大系统的能力。

EIA-99083518Delcambre, Lois M.Oregon Graduate SchoolDigital Government: Harvesting Information to Sustain our ForestsHistorically, forest management practices have aimed to maximize harvests, put out fires, and create plots of a common age and species. More recently, there is an increasing awareness that forests must be managed to reflect a broad range of local, regional and national objectives, including ecological, economic, social and recreational. This research will be a collaboration between the university research team and the Adaptive Management Areas program, a multi-agency initiative (USDA Forest Service, and two agencies of the US Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service) to design and prototype an "Adaptive Management Portal" to make Adaptive Management information available in an open, natural and useful way to all parties interested in forest lands. A key technical question is to what extent "superimposed information" (information overlaid on the base set of resources) can help realize these goals. There is particular interest in thematic organizations based on terminology in common use in the forest practices domain, and in the ability for arbitrary users to augment the system with their own annotations, linkages and collations that might be of use to others.
