Web Work For NRIAI
History
The initial Natural Resources Inventory and Analysis Institute (NRIAI) website
was developed by Glenn Lawson and posted at ISU. In the 1998 change in NRIAI
directors and staff, the NRIAI website was moved to Temple, and posted on
http://waterhome.brc.tamus.edu/NRIAI/ with David Buland as the webmaster. The
Natural Resources Inventory and Analysis Institute website was converted and
moved to the NRCS website by September 2003; similar to the other NRCS Institute
websites. Much of the older material worth archiving had already been moved to
the NRI websites. Work on the website was completed jointly by David, Don, and
Nathanial.
Content
It is developed following the NRCS state office template. Only the newer
technology items were posted, most of the older items directly on the NRIAI site
were concerned with earlier NRI inventory collections. It contains the Basic
NRCS html template, with some xls, ppt, and .doc files on the associated FTP
site.
Future
When/if reorganization occurs; most of this site could disappear. About ten
studies/papers/projects would be ported to other locations, following the staff
members that developed them; probably into the technology sub-webs for the new
technology centers. The website was designed last year to easily separate these
projects and port them to other sites.
Until reorganization occurs, the NRIAI site will be maintained on the webfarm,
posting new NRIAI developed technologies as they develop.
