The Baseline Information System--User's Manual.

Abstract

The Baseline Information System (BLIS) is an extension of the Environmental Impact Computer System (EICS) and a subsystem of the Environmental Technical Information System (ETIS). BLIS was developed to provide EICS users with site-specific data or to identify for EICS users possible sources of such data. This BLIS data base was developed by: Aggregating EICS attribute identifications with common technological bases into search terms; Compiling and analyzing directories of regional experts and conservationists, universities, and existing data management systems; Developing a data file which identifies the aggregate keyword designation, the EICS attributes pertaining to the keyword, points of contact and appropriate geographic/political references; Developing a user-oriented software package for inclusion into ETIS. This report provides BLIS user instructions and serves as a guide for the retrieval and use of appropriate points of contact or consultation for environmental baseline data . (Author)
