| PNAMP Glossary of Monitoring Terms |
| |
| PNAMP has initiated the development of a glossary of terms related to aquatic monitoring efforts in the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, the Glossary is intended to provide a collection of monitoring terms, their definitions, associations, and contextual classifications in a relational database format. This tool was developed with the following goals: |
| |
 | Provide a succinct list of indicators and metrics for monitoring projects in the Pacific Northwest; |
| | Provide a keyword thesaurus and controlled vocabulary to be used by other applications and tools; |
| | Reconcile differences in terminology between monitoring groups; |
| | Further define the ‘who is doing what’ aspect of metadata development for aquatic monitoring activities in the region.
