Here is a summary from the recent steering committee which is developing 
the proposal for presentation at the upcoming May 4 workshop.  If you 
would like to be involved on the Steering Committee level, please get in 
touch with me.  If you have access to any type of compendiums on Delta 
data and information, please send a copy, preferably in digitized form to 
Quinn Hart of the CERES project.  Thank you.

Also, the next Water On-Line Steering Committee meeting is scheduled for 
May 4 from 8 - 9 am.  The Bay Delta Index workshop begins immediately

SUMMARY OF BAY/DELTA INDEX CONFERENCE CALL

DECISIONS

1.  Agreed to conduct two METADATA meetings.
	One Bay/Delta Index Steering Committee meeting April 18 
	Overall Bay/Delta Workshop May 4th.

2.  Agreed to exchange Bay/Delta compendium data sets before 
April meeting, preferably in Digital format

3. Agreed on requests for financial contributions from 
participating agencies/organizations.

GOAL

1.  The goal of the May 4th  Bay/Delta Index workshop is to 
bring together as many of the Bay/Delta data-holders as possible 
in order to develop a usable, integrated  Index/Library of 
dataset compendiums which can be made accessible through the 
WorldWideWeb.

STEPS

1.  Identify the 10 most important Bay/Delta compendiums of data 
sets.  Compile these (with CERES) and involve representatives 
from each of those 10 agencies/organizations. Everyone is 
encouraged to notify Kevin Wolf of compendiums they know of and 
to send a copy (preferably in digitized format) of your own 
compendiums to Quinn Hart at CERES.  (Mail to Land, Air and 
Water Resources, Veihmeyer Hall, UC Davis, Davis, CA 95616)

2.  Structure the April Steering Committee meeting so that 
participants have already shared compendiums and the meeting can 
accomplish these major steps.
	A. Finalize proposed goals and objectives for the 
Bay/Delta data index.
	B. Develop a proposal for  what METADATA information 
should be included in this Index/Library.
	C. Finalize a proposal for using the WWW for a master 
Index/Library to SF Bay/Delta data sets. 
	  

3. Finalize the format of the May 4th workshop. We anticipate 
between 40 -  80 people attending. The workshop will be 
structured with breakout groups, panel discussion and a 
facilitated floor session so all participants have a chance to 
be heard.
	The April 18 steering committee proposal will be 
circulated both on-line (to the Water On-Line list) and in hard 
copy to those requesting it.
