Federal environmental data: a directory of selected sources
Book
·
OSTI ID:5166768
This directory describes major environmental data bases maintained by U.S. government agencies. The data bases represent organized collections of scientific data, technical data, and bibliographic and directory information that are accessible by predefined search parameters. Most, but not all, are computer-based files found in machine-readable form. In addition to specific data bases, a few systems, information centers, and programs that are themselves repositories of a large number of data bases are described. For the most part, the data bases described were drawn from five Federal agencies: the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, and Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. A few important data bases from other Federal agencies were also selected for inclusion. The directory is divided into six major sections--one for each of the five major agencies, and a sixth containing sources found elsewhere. Each profile contains certain standard items of information: source name, source agency, objective, general description, size, update frequency, time reference, cost, turnaround time, product, and person to contact.
