• Abstract:
  Midwest FreightView (MWFV) and its associated data repository is part of a large multifaceted
  
  effort to promote regional economic development throughout the Great Lakes
  
  system. The main objective for the system is to promote sustainable maritime
  
  transportation in the region by serving as an information clearinghouse for public policy
  
  decision making and for drawing the link between maritime freight movements and
  
  economic impacts throughout the region. In effort to maintain consistency over time
  
  within the MWFV system this project was devoted to the development of a set of
  
  formalized data library functions that include a complete set of user guides, technical
  
  manuals, and training modules for using the system, a detailed inventory of data
  
  repository contents, and complete documentation of repository contents according to
  
  national metadata standards. In addition, the project established a formally-defined
  
  directory structure for data storage, backup and security protocols, and the development
  
  of formal procedures for any updates, additions, or edits to the repository contents.
