| - 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). |

| - The goal of the [Marine Metadata Interoperability Project | 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. |
