Representation of Social Networks
Modeling approaches have also addressed how social networks interact in making resource decisions.

Modeling and the “Big Picture”
Any applied modeling approach needs to accountfor the larger research goals. This requires theintegration of research steps.
Our focus has been on howto integrate data with models so that eventuallyIt can be a more automatedor semi-automated.

Protocol Details
The integration of a data settingprotocol is intended to allowa semi-automated approachto integrating data and social-ecological models.
The key characteristics includethe inclusion of temporal, spatial,and information on social and environmental processes.

Information fusion can integrate both structured and unstructured data.
There is a real need to integrate qualitative as well as quantitative information.

Fieldwork and Automated Approaches
To improve the speed and feedback between data capture and analysis, we will apply handheld device in capturing voice data. We will also apply traditional methods.

Addressing the Full Scope of Research Goals
Information fusion techniques not only help to integrate data gathering with modeling, but the goal is to quicken the lag between data collection andmodel assessment.
More rapid assessments canmake it more practical tomodify or change the researchstrategy.

Summary
Modeling addressing social-ecological systems cannot be done outside the larger research context that looks at the questions, data needs, and data gathering methodology.
There is a greater need to integrate disparate data from a variety of fields and sources in Alaska. Currently, there is difficulty in fully automating data collection with model integration, but we’ve had some success in semi-automated integration.
Information fusion offers a methodology that can allow us to integrate different types of social and environmental data (structured and unstructured data). Such data can be assessed for important spatial, temporal, and behavioral characteristics.
Our goal is to have a methodology developed so that data gathering is both more efficient and directly useful for constructing modeling approaches. This can informs us about significant social-ecological processes and what data needs are relevant for further collection.

Availability of AIDA Tool and Interdisciplinary Research
Current availability of AIDA (Client and Server code):
http://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/2/5/1182/
We have begun a collaborative research project with a political science researcher at the University of Massachusetts using AIDA to assess health care policy and how that is reported in the press.
Will be available (late 2010 or early 2011) on SourceForge
