Information managers at each of the 26 sites in the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network face many challenges managing structurally and thematically diverse ecological data sets collected by LTER scientists. Since the LTER's inception in 1980, LTER information managers have partnered with computer scientists to seek innovative information management solutions. This panel of three computer scientists and three LTER informatics scientists will present current collaborative research projects and offer perspectives on engendering mutually beneficial partnerships among research ecologists, the eco-informatics community, supercomputer centers, and computer science researchers. A discussion with SSDBM attendees about DB and CS research areas that might benefit the LTER information management mission will follow panelist remarks.
