CollapseStrategic Plan for the United States Geological Survey National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII)
Description: Within the USGS Strategic Plan, the Environment and Natural Resources goal emphasizes delivery of data and information in ways that provide decisionmakers a better understanding of current environmental conditions, develop predictions about the future, and provide options for adopting a course of action or response to these conditions (decision support systems and other data interpretation tools). The NBII responds directly to this goal by providing a large, distributed yet interconnected network of people, technologies, standards, data, and organizations that together form a federation. The goals of this federation are aimed at optimizing the nation’s investment in research and monitoring activities through greater accessibility to the results of these activities.
