| Abstract: | At the December 2002 CENDI meeting, Ms. Funke and Mr. Tracy updated the CENDI members on research and products under development at EPA. The Environmental Information Management System (EIMS) status update was presented by John Sykes of the Office of Research and Development (ORD). This system now has over 31,000 records and will soon be adding the Science Inventory which is all research in the agency. Also financial information is being integrated with products to provide better accountability of what a project costs. Following this update, another status report was given on "Window to My Environment", a public access portal that addresses practical problems of GIS data integration and deployment. Because there is no agreement on the Open GIS Standard, XML is being used to integrate EPA information with partner information. The last update described the Environmental Data Resistry (EDR) which supports EPA's efforts in data standardization by cumulating definitions of data elements from a variety of EPA databases, products, and projects. It utilizes the ISO 11179 standard and provides a single source for their definition. Currently there are over 7,000 data elements defined in the EDR. A chemical data registry has also been developed with approximately 80,000 chemicals. |
