The National Ecological Observation Network will collect ecological data at an unprecedented scale.  An important component of NEON is how we share that data with a diverse user community.   What kinds of data will be available from NEON? How can we best standardize these heterogeneous data streams?  How will they be interoperable with other data sources?  I’ll cover the current state of our data and informatics infrastructure, what we’ve accomplished, and what we still need to build.
