Dear all, I have made some updates to the Word document “Water Data Portals” and have uploaded it as a file under the OSF project “Water Data Portals” (https://osf.io/8mn3q/). This is a “public” project so you should be able to access it.
Version 2 contains some additional data portals. Note that some of the data portals that Philippe had added to his Google Docs version were already on the list but under a different “name”.
I think that I would have to add specific individuals as “contributors” in order for others to upload files. I will deal with that when the time comes.
Within the soon-to-be-formed GWI IG discussion group on “hydrologic data discovery and catalogs”, we may want to discuss questions such as:
n What criteria should be used for inclusion/exclusion?
n Would it be better to have the list in Excel format?
n Should the “names” be standardized in some way (which would hopefully allow for the alphabetical list to be more consistent)?
n Would it be useful to add columns with other attributes to allow for easier searching and/or sorting?
Hope this is useful, Janet
