  2. The DMC’s Past Activities • Developed a Minimum data elements document standardizing a baseline set of data fields to facilitate data sharing • Initiated implementation of the “clickable” map concept where monitoring data and information could be accessed through a GIS interface • Developed a database of Non-tidal Tributary Water-Quality Monitoring Programs in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

  3. Current DMC Activities • Clickable map, continued: • Developed prototype ARC-IMS map • Currently working through licensing issues and confirming a host site for the map. • STORET Development • Selected a watershed (Anacostia River) for a pilot study to demonstrate the feasibility of using STORET for MD’s water quality data. • Exploring potential for GIS integration with STORET as a possible working model for the clickable map project.

  4. The DMC’s Future Goals • Host a workshop on data management and/or data quality issues. • Pursue grants to fund a full-time staff member for Data Management activities • Coordinate more with the National Council, as well as federal agencies (EPA, USGS on Data Standards • Provide better public access to Maryland’s water quality data • Reaffirm the DMC’s mission and purpose
