This report presents the results of deliberations at a workshop held in May 1982 at Kellogg Biological Stataion to address what is perceived as a general problem of omission at field research site–that of data management. Data management has not had a very high priority at most established field research stations and only recently has there been a coordinated effort to develop data management systems among sites identified in the NSF-supported Long Term Ecological Research network.
