How does NVS store data? • Purpose-built archival facility • Metadata database (XML) • NVS database (SQL) • Associated electronic files and resources
Metadata and data • What? • Where? • When? • Who? • Why? • How?
How the information content of data and metadata degrades over time. Source: Michener et al. 1997.
Standard methodologies presently supported in NVS Express User Interface (UI): • Recce inventory (Hurst & Allen 2007) • Permanent plot method (Hurst & Allen 2007) presently supported in the Main NVS database UI: • EBEX21 (Richardson et al. 2004) • Carbon Monitoring System or LUCAS (Payton et al. 2004) examples of other standard methods: • Wraight 20 x 20m quadrat (Wiser & Rose 1997) • Scott height frequency (Wiser & Rose 1997)
Recce inventory All vegetation types as per Hurst & Allen 2007
