LTER Cyberinfrastructure Assessment Survey - February 2007.
This survey was designed to assess the current state and cyberinfrastructure (CI) needs of the LTER Network. The survey is an update of the 2005 CI assessment survey. Components of the survey were developed by the LTER CI Team to cover specific topic areas and updated based on results of an information management workshop held at the 2006 LTER All Scientists meeting.
The survey is designed to assess the LTER Network as a whole. Although individual site information is gathered, all results are pooled. Note that the term "Site" is often used loosely to refer to the LTER site program itself, or in other instances, depending on context, to the physical research site itself.
