Data Inventory

Inventory of data in LTAR Network sites

LTAR Data Inventory Table

The purpose of the LTAR Data Inventory is to make the data from all 18 LTAR sites discoverable and describe and create metadata about the data to facilitate data sharing, as well as accessibility, interoperability (i.e. machine readable), and reusability (i.e. cross-site analysis) for the LTAR network and the greater public. The LTAR Data Inventory will enhance data discoverability and data sharing across the network by creating a controlled vocabulary of categories and variable names that describe LTAR data.  You can also access the LTAR Data Inventory Insights Dashboard with multiple view to this inventory here
