Research Question
This research project intends to address the following questions:
a) How can BOR-MP-DEA better support the environmental data needs of internal/external stakeholders?
b) How can BOR-MP-DEA information be centralized and integrated with time-series capabilities and with GIS capabilities?
c) How can BOR-MP-DEA information be enhanced to integrate BOR - wide 'open water data' efforts?
Need and Benefit
The BOR-MP-DEA generates large volumes of information (data/documents) in support of environmental compliance programs. This information is stored in multiple platforms (database, shared drives) which are mostly being used as repositories with limited or no capability to integrate data in time-series and associate data/documents to geographical information services (e.g. GIS Portal, TESSEL). To enhance the current capability while integrating BOR-wide ongoing data management efforts (e.g. RISE,RWIS, BOR DRUPAL) it is necessary to upgrade the EMD internal user interface from Microsoft Access to Oracle and to complete the EMD external user interface transition from Adobe Cold Fusion to PHP. It is necessary to develop a BOR-MP-DEA database to centralize environmental documentation using DRUPAL capability and it is necessary to explore the integration of the various databases into the web based BOR GIS application.
