1. BACKGROUND The Venezuelan Ministry of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ministerio del Ambiente y de los Recursos Naturales Renovables - MARNR), is responsible for the collection, processing, storage, and communication of data and information* on the environment and natural renewable resources. The data and information falling in MARNR's jurisdiction have to be obtained for inventorying the natural renewable resources, monitoring the environmental conditions including environmental hazards and disasters, enforcement of environmental legislation, planning of rural, urban, and industrial development, planning and designing various projects, and monitoring the environmental effects of various developments. Basically, MARNR is responsible for obtaining data in the areas of air and water resources (meteorology, hydrology, hydrogeology, water quality), and land resources (topography, soil, vegetation, wild life and land use). MARNR has accumulated during its existence, and inherited from its predecessors, a considerable amount of data in the fields of interest. However, in view of the dynamic character of these surveys wich require continuous observations as in the case of meteorology, hydrology, water quality and vegetation, or periodical updating as in the case of topography, the needs of various users have not always been completely satisfied, in spite of very significant accomplishments of MARNR. Due to significant budgetory limitations experienced in the past years, significant amounts of data collected and inherited have not yet been processed in a manner satisfactory to the users. Furthermore, as many users become more and more sophisticated from the viewpoint of their capacity of data processing through computer automation, MARNR, in spite of recent improvements which include the introduction of computer centers, is lagging badly in the collection, processing, storage and communication of data in digital format. *) Data are defined as quantitative measurements of physical and other characteristics of processes of interest, information is the result of processing of data to obtain values that can be used in decision making and management. 634
