I could not agree more with your discussion. My company has been deploying wonderfull Web 2.0 tools to bring value to environmental data. There are so many companies flying blind when it comes to interpretation and processing of environmental information. Unfortunatelly the governmental agencies that regulate them are not in much better shape. You may drop to our website or blog at locustechnologies.wordpress.com

The aim of the website is to be a delivery portal for natural resource management information, and the range of information products available is continually being improved.

Good pickup on the openDSM technology – I did not think of the link to the NRM world until you pointed it out. Will listen to Peter’s podcast today and come back with any inspired ideas.

For those interested in the openDSM, we have set up a little community of interest at:

http://me.edu.au/c/opendsm

Swing by and take a look.

p.s. I see in a related comment by Nick Lothian that NRM Toolbar uses openDSM. So does the ‘advanced search’ at edna.edu.au (click on the ‘distributed’ tab for a slice of the magic – notice how the first page of search results display immediately, while openDSM continues to wait in the background for slower content sources).

You might be interested to know that http://nrmtoolbar.net uses Education.au’s DSM to aggregate search results.

One of the aims for that site is to try and make it easier for people to find things from a range of different sources without having to investigate each one separately
