Abstract:

The Benchmark Data Content Standards are intended to provide guidance to all members of the NatureServe network. Adherence to these standards will ensure a high level of accuracy, currency and quality to the species data maintained within the collective NatureServe databases. <b> These standards establish priorities and network-wide content goals for: • the types of Elements and Element Occurrences to be tracked; • priority fundamental database fields that represent the core of our work; • standards for each of the priority fields; • GIS (spatial) data; • metadata; • measuring progress in meeting the Benchmark Data Content Standards. <b> IDFG network folder file copies include: NatureServe Benchmark Data Content Standards 2004 v. 2 (complete), and Field List for BDCS 2004 v. 2.
