October, 2006 - NRPC Data Management Policy
• “…NRPC will create a central web portal, a single sign-on system, and develop a common user interface for all natural resource applications…”
• “ NRPC will integrate all applications, eliminate redundant data storage, and streamline standard functions...”
• “ NRPC systems will transition to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). This transition will strategically position NRPC to better deal with future changes in technology…”

NRInfo Portal Essentials
- Authentication: system knows who you are and what you can do, without usernames and passwords
- Standardized look, feel, navigation throughout
- Managed Access: NPS and public
- Sensitivity, Proprietary status, Quality assessment: managed at the record level
- The portal isn’t the only way to reach the underlying data
NRInfo Portal Essentials
- User Requirements: hundreds of users and potential users interviewed during development process
- Iterative Development: Short development cycles; functionality added or improved with each cycle
- Performance: will be getting better!
- Much to improve.
NRInfo Portal – on deck
- Public Use Statistics: work will begin this year to integrate application into the portal
- Inventory Tracking: Integration by the end of the fiscal year
- T&E species, RPRS, APCAM: currently being considered for conversion and integration
- Geospatial capabilities: expanding with each release

NRInfo Steering Committees
Reference NPSpecies Portal
Portal Steering Committee Overall portal functionality, look, feel,
navigation, layout
Portal Steering Committee – other ideas one tab called “search” bring back the name “data store” tabs based on function, not subject specific searches or ways to retrieve
“authoritative” data sets “human use” tab is confusing to cultural
staff look at Google’s use of links in upper-left
corner of its home page look at Databasin.org website etc.
