Open-File Report 92-56
AbstractA data-policy committee was formed in the late spring of 1991 at the request of the Strategic Planning Group (SPG), which is composed of senior managers of the Water Resources Division (WRD) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). They are engaged in planning the National Water Information System (NWIS II). NWIS II is a distributed-information system that will provide electronic-data storage, management, manipulation, accessibility, and security for most of the hydrologic and related information collected or complied by WRD. Once data in NWIS II are reviewed and approved, they will become available for public viewing and copying, be maintained indefinitely, and be designated as collected by WRD or by some other organization. The committee was commissioned to consider five issues important to the design of the system. |
