FRAMES Subject Areas

FRAMES subject area portals contain information relevant to topics of interest within the wildland fire community. Currently, FRAMES identifies 26 subject areas reflecting categories proposed by wildland fire researchers and as part of a draft of the National Wildland Fire Enterprise Architecture developed by the National Wildand Fire Coordinating Group (NWCG). The goal of FRAMES is to have the subject areas be collaborative spaces, managed by experts in the subject area for other content providers and content users. Most subject area portals remain in the prototype phase, however, efforts are ongoing to encourage experts to assume the role of community manager for each subject area portal.
