Using controlled vocabularies as a knowledge base for natural resource managers

This project seeks to provide access to forest information for both its producers and consumers, e.g., local, state, and federal agencies and many other parties. This project focuses on the Adaptive management Areas of the Pacific Northwest, ten areas of forestlands set aside for experimentation in all aspects of forest management (Figure 1). The goal of the project is to build a web-based, forest information portal that preserves the autonomy and local focus of each Adaptive Management Area.
