In July 2011, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) issued an influential report on sustaining environmental capital (PCAST 2011) recommending a series of actions, including the development of an Ecoinformatics-based Open Resources and Machine Accessibility (EcoINFORMA) initiative. The Federal response has been to design and implement the first phase of a major effort to mobilize and integrate Federal data (see: ecosystems.data.gov). Currently released products include a universal geospatial viewer and an integrated metadata resource, as well as three thematic hubs. These are Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation (bison.usgs.ornl.gov) for biodiversity, EnviroAtlas (enviroatlas.epa.gov) for ecosystem services, and the Multi-resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (www.mrlc.gov) for landcover dynamics. In their report, the PCAST stated: "EcoINFORMA should interact with international biodiversity and ecosystem information systems in the development of globally accepted biodiversity and ecosystem information standards, and should seek out and encourage partnerships with the private and academic sectors to develop innovative tools for data integration, analysis, visualization, and decision-making." Recent mobilization of very large data sets in the Federal system as a part of EcoINFORMA has produced unprecedented opportunities for academic and commercial innovation, and the time is ripe for members of the Federal, academic, and commercial sectors to come together and examine the possibilities. A workshop and follow-up activities to bring together Federal environmental data providers and consumers with non-Federal environmental data providers and consumers to foster synergistic projects aimed at sustaining the country?s environmental capital and advancing science as a whole will take place in Washington, DC, in September 2015. The team will convene a broad representation of federal and nonfederal members of the biodiversity informatics and ecoinformatics communities, including academics and NGOs from a diverse group of organizations. The workshop will lead to much broader understanding and utilization of the existing EcoInforma hubs, as well as important feedback to the curators of those hubs about user community needs and interests.

2011年7月，总统科学技术顾问委员会（PCAST​​）发布了一份有关维持环境资本的有影响力的报告（PCAST​​ 2011），建议采取一系列行动，包括开发基于生态信息的开放资源和机器可及性（Ecoinforma）倡议。联邦反应是设计和实施一项重大努力的第一阶段，以动员和整合联邦数据（请参阅：EcoSystems.data.gov）。目前发布的产品包括通用的地理空间观众和集成的元数据资源以及三个主题枢纽。这些是为生物多样性服务的生物多样性信息（bison.usgs.ornl.gov），用于生态系统服务的Enviroatlas（Enviroatlas.epa.gov），以及多分辨率的土地特征联盟（www.mrlc.gov），用于覆盖地面动态。 PCAST​​在其报告中指出：“生态形式应与国际生物多样性和生态系统信息系统进行互动，以开发全球所接受的生物多样性和生态系统信息标准，并应寻求并鼓励与私人和学术领域建立合作伙伴关系，以开发创新的工具，以进行数据整合，分析，分析，可视化，可视化和决策。”作为Ecoinforma的一部分，最近动员了非常大的数据集，为学术和商业创新提供了前所未有的机会，联邦，学术和商业部门的成员聚集在一起并检查了可能性。 A workshop and follow-up activities to bring together Federal environmental data providers and consumers with non-Federal environmental data providers and consumers to foster synergistic projects aimed at sustaining the country?s environmental capital and advancing science as a whole will take place in Washington, DC, in September 2015. The team will convene a broad representation of federal and nonfederal members of the biodiversity informatics and ecoinformatics communities, including academics and来自各种组织的非政府组织。该研讨会将导致对现有的Ecoinforma枢纽的更广泛的了解和利用，以及对这些枢纽的重要反馈，这些枢纽有关用户社区的需求和兴趣。
