Uses of EDR/TRS Integration Use TRS as: • Source of terms used to classify data elements • Gateway to search data element metadata by keyword
Database Integration • Environmental Data Exchange Network (EDEN) pilot project • Collaboration: DOE, DoD, EPA, EEA • Map heterogeneous hazardous waste databases • Innovative technology
Web Information Retrieval • Web metadata inventory • Search engine • Thesaurus function • Topic sets
Document Retrieval • Cataloging • Indexing • Reference vocabulary
