ELOKA Scope • Data Management § Service oriented and collaborative Work with communities and partners to develop protocols o Direct storage and management or links to sources of data o Collaboration to develop best practices in data stewardship for community-based observations. o § Protocols and systems for non-numerical formats Video and audio o Maps (interactive) o Artwork and photographs o Interview transcripts and recorded oral histories. o
