Difference between version 14 and version 3:

At line 2 added 4 lines.
+ ! Avian Knowledge Network
+
+ The goal of [AKN | http://www.avianknowledge.net] is to educate the public on the dynamics of bird populations, provide interactive decision-making tools for land managers, make available a data resource for scientific research, and advance new exploratory analysis techniques to study bird populations. To do so, the AKN is bringing together observation data on birds. This includes data from bird-monitoring, bird-banding, and broad-scale citizen-based bird-surveillance programs. All of the observation data are unified within a distributed information architecture that is constantly expanding. All data can be made accessible, and are archived in Cornell University's data management infrastructure. Additionally, the AKN has gathered over 1100 environmental, climate, and human demographic variables that are linked to all AKN bird observation locations.

- Ecological Metadata Language ([EML | http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/]) is a metadata specification developed by the ecology discipline and for the ecology discipline. It is based on prior work done by the Ecological Society of America and associated efforts (Michener et al., 1997, Ecological Applications). EML is implemented as a series of XML document types that can by used in a modular and extensible manner to document ecological data. Each EML module is designed to describe one logical part of the total metadata that should be included with any ecological dataset.

- The [project's | http://canopy.evergreen.edu] mission is to address issues of data acquisition, management, analysis and exchange relating to canopy studies at all stages of the research process. We develop informatics tools for canopy scientists, document and publish datasets that demonstrate use of these tools, characterize (and formalize in informatics terms) fundamental structures of the forest canopy, and relate those structures to functional characterizations for retrospective, comparative, and integrative studies. We also aim to generalize the tools we develop (or show that they are generalizable) to the larger discipline of ecology and to articulate where current information technology is not adequate for implementing tools for these scientists. In the latter case, we communicate these needs to other researchers (specifically the database and information technology communities).

+ ! Marine Metadata Interoperability Project
+
+ The goal of [MMI | http://marinemetadata.org] is to promote collaborative research in the marine science domain, by simplifying the incredibly complex world of metadata into specific, straightforward guidance. MMI hopes to encourage scientists and data managers at all levels to apply good metadata practices from the start of a project, by providing the best advice and resources for data management.
