Developing a process for a metadata standard for environmental public health tracking.
The National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network provides an opportunity for public health practitioners to access more data than previously possible. The availability of metadata about the Tracking Network would enable users to search for and discover data for public health action and decision-making. Specifically, the metadata will be used to establish keyword search terms for data mining and will also provide a description of the content of data sets to point out their uses and limitations.
