LTER Network
Office Cyberinfrastructure Assessment Survey - Raw Analysis
This survey is designed to assess the current state,
and cyberinfrastructure (CI) needs for LTER Network level science
being developed as part of the LTER Planning Process. Components
of the survey were developed by a CI Team which met in June to
initiate the CI needs assessment. Further information can be found
in the Cyberinfrastructure section of the LTER Planning Grant
Wiki at: http://intranet.lternet.edu/planning/
This assessment covers only the LTER Network Office LTER sites
only. The LTER sites were assessed separately.
This survey was written and processed by John
Vande Castle, LTER Network Office, using survey tools of "Surveymonkey.com"
(This is neither an endorsement or recommendation by the LTER Network Office).
The survey was completed by John Vande Castle and James Brunt at the LTER
Network Office. Since the survey was designed to assess LTER site
capabilities, some of the information does not apply to the LTER Network
Office, but was completed as well as possible.
This survey is meant to cover the following topic areas identified
by the LTER CI team, although some questions were added at the
request of site information managers or members of the LTER Technology
Committee:
General overview of data collection, QA/QC, archive, delivery
EML/metadata completeness
