Kepler System

https://kepler-project.org
The Kepler Project is dedicated to furthering and supporting the capabilities, use, and awareness of the free and open source, scientific workflow application, Kepler. Kepler is designed to help scientists, analysts, and computer programmers create, execute, and share models and analyses across a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines. Kepler can operate on data stored in a variety of formats, locally and over the internet, and is an effective environment for integrating disparate software components, such as merging "R" scripts with compiled "C" code, or facilitating remote, distributed execution of models. Using Kepler's graphical user interface, users simply select and then connect pertinent analytical components and data sources to create a "scientific workflow"-an executable representation of the steps required to generate results. The Kepler software helps users share and reuse data, workflows, and compo nents developed by the scientific community to address common needs.

The National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program's Natural Resource Database Template (NRDT) is a set of Microsoft Access relational database tables that parks and networks can use to develop applications for capturing natural resource inventory and monitoring data.

NatureServe Ecological Integrity Assessment and Performance Measures for Wetland Mitigation

http://www.natureserve.org/publications/eia_wetland_032707.pdf

The Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies have developed a National Wetlands Mitigation Plan that includes the need for assessing the effectiveness of biological and functional indicators that will help establish performance standards for wetland mitigation. This report outlines our approach to establish performance standards for wetlands mitigation using an
adapted version of NatureServe’s methodology for conducting ecological integrity assessments.
