摘要: The International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) Network was established in 1993 and is now composed of thirty-eight national networks representing a diversity ecosystems around the globe. Data generated by ILTER are valuable for scientists addressing broad spatial temporal scale research questions, but only if these data can be easily discovered, accessed, understood. Challenges to publishing have included unequal distribution among information management expertise, user-friendly tools, resources. Language translation also been issues. Despite significant obstacles, managers formed grassroots partnerships collaborated provide training, adopt common metadata standard, develop tools useful throughout network, organize scientist/information manager workshops that encourage share integrate data. Throughout this article, we lessons learned from successes international inform others who wish collaborate internationally on projects depend sharing entailing similar challenges.
