Management's Nature Database – an expert data system designed for nature management
Spatial data – in focus for the Norwegian nature management
• Spatial data serves as a basis in management of resources at the local and the national level – spatial environmental data are important – and necessary - input to the planning processes
• Data on state and trends is basic in establishing and revising environmental policy, important factors are expressed through spatial data or analyses based on spatial data
• Information about state and trends to the public– Internet and media are the most important carriers of spatial
information– Efficient; ”everyone” can find information– Flexible, makes updating ”on the fly” in true time possible– Involving; inviting to or even organising dialogs with users of the
internet services
Facts about Nature Database -”Naturbase”
• Expert tool with geographical information for the Directorate for Nature Management (DN) and the County Governors office
• Historically related to ”old” databases
• Covering a wide range thematically
• Central database - local map modules
• Previously a relation database with an integrated map solution (WinMapSql)
• Today used in connection with ArcView as GIS-tool

Developing from an internal management tool to a system with external focus as
well (or to say a primarily focus)
This is (not) about technology!
Some key factors
• Accepted and approved by the head of organisations– Should be founded in strategies – Economical resources must be available– Employees and consultants must be dedicated to this
task
• Standards, including methods and production lines from the work in field to the smashing show-up on the internet
• Capacity/competence• A dedicated owner of each system
It's about priority,
establishing of methods and standards,
and it's about organising and
motivating people. Then systems and
GIS / IT.

The system generates an Excel file with results. This file may be formatted and edited according to the
facilities within the Excel software.
Export from the database to map files in SOSI-format; technically the most
advanced function of the system.
Most Norwegians believe the Nature Database is here:
And, well, they're right; www.dirnat.no/nbinnsyn
Success factors and experiences• The leaders must accept and approve!• Concrete strategies, aims and priorities are crucial• Sufficient supply of resources according to the chosen level of
ambition• Motivated thematic experts with a ”touch of” curiosity towards IT
is a huge advantage• Nothing works without competent people around• Functional tools makes it easier (IT isn't all, but it helps)• Standardisation is needed for the ability of exchanging data• Routines and responsibilities that can't be misunderstood
prevents problems in data production and data flow• Cooperation and networking within the experts fields, both
thematic and technical• When things work, it tends to strengthen the participants
motivation in making it work even better…….

WMS in data management• WebMap Services (an open
transferring format for data)• Data placed as pictures (layers) on
the Internet• Readable for WebMap clients and
several GIS-tools locally installed• Distributed sources of data
available in true time• Every owner of data sets up a map
service• No copying of data belonging to
other data owners• WMS-maps may be read together
with local data in local databases for spatial data
