The Ecological Data Application System (EDAS) for upload of biological data to STORET EDAS first developed in 1997 to support biocriteria development for states. Since then several state biomonitoring programs have requested customized versions. Leading to our current release “version 3.2” that has many features to support biological data analysis.

Bug-thinking in EDAS ” Why use EDAS? “ Do your Or “Bio-thinking”
EDAS is analytical, interactive (very flexible depending on your knowledge of ACCESS) Allows you to ask and answer questions about your data (flexible query design) Biological metrics especially – enumeration of taxa groups and characteristics 18 states and additional regional agencies are now using EDAS
3
Ecological Data Types Metadata for Programs, Projects, Station, Samples, Replicates, Personnel, and Methods Taxonomic census data for Benthic Macroinvertebrates, Fish, and Periphyton Water Quality Habitat Assessments Physical Characteristics Pebble Counts Cross-sections Also trips and visits

126 Stations, 312 Samples, 336 taxa collected from 1997-2000

Alaska Data Uploads ENRI of UAA working with ADEC
Biocriteria Development project Cook Inlet as pilot region 5474 biological results 966 water quality results ENRI under contract to ADEC, Collecting benthic and field chemistry samples in limited areas (Cook Inlet, Southeast), Developing biological criteria, ADEC coordinating statewide STORET input, Several smaller entities/agencies contributing to data collection efforts (for biological samples), Database expertise within the smaller agencies is insufficient (?)
11
EDAS and STORET EDAS incorporates STORET conventions and codes for sample types, methods, etc. Batch files are prepared in EDAS, exported to a text file, and imported in STORET EDAS currently supports data transfer for benthic macroinvertebrate and water quality data
12
Preparation for Batch Upload
EDAS Required fields completed with meaningful data Sample and Biological units uniquely identified Sample IDs, Replicate IDs, Method IDs, Personnel Characteristic Groups and Row IDs STORET Metadata entered for: organization, stations, taxa, personnel, methods, etc. Determine complete replacement or partial upload
13
Batch File Generation
14
Error Reduction
15
Save batch file to text file
16
STORET Batch Upload Dialogue from STORET screens

Future Developments Support for upload of other data types
Coordination with SIM EDAS Analysis Pack for STORET
