Adaptive Forest Management Portal
• Make information developed by and relevant to AMAs available and easily searchable by a range of users– Forest scientists– Resource managers
• Are concentrating on documents– USFS does well with GIS data– Not as great interest in base data as in interpretations and
analyses of that data
• Series of portals– toy portal– test portal– prototype portal– deployed portal
![Page 6: Harvesting Information to Sustain our Forests David Maier Many thanks to Lois Delcambre, Tim Tolle and the rest of the team for slides April 19, 2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d605503460f94a41862/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What We Need to Build the Portal
Technology piecesTry to use existing systems as much as possible
• Net-accessible document storage– Hope that ultimately most document producers will maintain
their own repositories– But need a separate document manager short term and for
“orphan” documents– Browser-based upload is good
![Page 7: Harvesting Information to Sustain our Forests David Maier Many thanks to Lois Delcambre, Tim Tolle and the rest of the team for slides April 19, 2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d605503460f94a41862/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Document Identification
Half-life of a URL is 63 daysWhat can we pass out to users that is a reliable reference?
• Digital Object Identifier (DOI)• Publishers assign, public resolution services
• Limitation: Can only give DOIs to own works
• Handles• Basis for DOIs
• Limitation: Have to run your own resolution service

Beyond the Basics• Full-text keyword search
• End-user Collection, Linking, Annotation: Capture added value from efforts of users– All documents (or document fragments) on stream restoration and
bull trout– Forward links from analysis to restoration plan– Maybe even “recombinant documents”

Development of Additional Technology and Domain Knowledge
• User Scenarios• Controlled vocabularies• Metadata model• Support for metadata attachment and metadata-
based browsing• Exploiting structure within documents.
Other work underway– Inhibitors and promoters of information sharing in
organizations– Portal business models– GIS interface

The district silviculturalist at the McKenzie Ranger District on the Willamette National Forest is working on an EIS for a timber sale located within the upper McKenzie watershed. During the scoping process, the silviculturalist and rest of the IDT identified two areas in particular where the objectives would be to promote and accelerate the development of late successional characteristics over time.
Both areas are located within Douglas-fir forest types; one within a Western hemlock/dwarf Oregon grape plant association, or potential vegetation type, and one in a riparian reserve that has a plant association of Western hemlock/Oregon oxalis......

Querying a Superimposed Schematic
Issue [AppealDecision(id="1570-1-0032-10").concern(order=1)] The decision violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The illegal advisory committee played a central role in influencing the Forest Service Decision.
Issue [AppealDecision(id="1570-1-0032-10").concern(order=2)] The decision significantly reduces hunting opportunity and habitat for deer and elk.
Issue [AppealDecision(id="1570-1-0035-13").concern(order=1)] The District Ranger's decision is not in accordance with the legal requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Forest Management Act, and the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act.
Issue [AppealDecision(id="1570-1-0038-19").concern(order=1)] Current stand condition is not adequately addressed, impacts on soil quality are not addressed, and that impacts to various species are not considered, including several late successional species, survey and manage species, and management indicator species.
