[Admin_Boundaries_FIT] Admin Boundaries Inventory

Tue Oct 4 11:45:37 PDT 2022

Hello, Admin Boundaries FIT,

As some of us discussed in the AB FIT meeting last month, I am completing a required data element inventory for our theme. This includes a spreadsheet of 90+ existing datasets, possible datasets, “wish list” datasets, etc. that need information attributed to them, such as who stewards them, where they live, and if they are appropriate as framework. Our meeting attendees discussed a shared spreadsheet that could track changes, but after discussion internally and with DAS, I decided to take a simpler approach.

We have by far the biggest list in the framework program, so I am asking you for help. The table below represents datasets that I am either struggling to find information on or am questioning their relevance to framework. If you have a contact that would be knowledgeable about the data, please include them here. If the steward or subject matter expert happens to be you, please let me know so I can coordinate with you on the additional information I need.

Any information is appreciated, so feel free to fill out the table liberally.

Thanks for your help and please let me know if you have questions!
Karen
