  9. LUQ IM Vision /mission/tasks Vision Ourmission is to share that information as is generated by the Research of the Luquillo LTER in a timely manner thus helping in the discovery of the relationships among these components. LUQ Information Management (LUQ IM) vision of the world is a complex web of information (data and metadata). Each set of information describes one or many components of our planet. As each piece is described independently, other pieces are interlaced into the view of many others.

  10. Lter sites’ components:science & im • Science Component of LTER: • Studies • Monitors • Experiments • Discovers (Analysis) • Relates Knowledge (Synthesis) • Educates • IM Component of LTER: • Facilitates analysis (Data Management) • Shares information (Data and Metadata) • Educates (Schoolyard and GS) • Foster synthesis

  11. Data organization LUQ Home Page LUQ IM Page

  12. Information: DATA + METADATA http://luq.lternet.edu/data/luqmetadata14

  13. Data use • All data is readily downloadable • LUQ User's Licence, Agreement, and Disclaimer: http://luq.lternet.edu/IM/UsersAgreement • User may want to contact investigator (Contact information in metadata)
