Laboratory Data Entry System (LDES)External LinksThe links below will take you out of the Wisconsin DNR website. The sites listed below are federal government websites. EPA - Environmental Data Registry (EDR) - The EDR is a comprehensive, authoritative reference for information
about the definition, source, and uses of environmental data. USDA - Integrated Taxonomic Information System - Here you will find authoritative taxonomic information on plants,
animals,fungi, and microbes of North America and the world. EPA - Substance Registry System (SRS) - The SRS provides information on substances (chemicals) and how they
are represented in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and information systems. USGS - Water Quality and Data Elements - The Methods and Data Comparability Board and The National Water-Quality
Monitoring Council have prepared a list of what we believe to be the necessary or "core metadata" to allow
comparability assessments. The list proposed is not a set of required information, rather, it is intended as a means
to help data collectors more easily consider the most important water-quality data elements needed to assess data
comparability. Last Revised: Tuesday December 20 2011
