Should we do this, starting with NWI?

dblodgett-usgs commented 3 years ago

Probably? I don't know the identifier scheme of the NWI. Do we have people who want to link to it?

ksonda commented 3 years ago

Not urgent or crucial for now, some community science orgs would maybe interested. From what I can tell there isn't an identifier scheme at all, which is why I thought of it. Distributed via WMS not WFS, and the shapefile downloads don't have an id attribute (other than row FID). Maybe worth a convo with USFWS. Maybe it's a silly idea because they are so ephemeral anyway.

I'm involved in some work related to the Waters of the US where this might come up. I think we should keep this issue open and keep our ears open for opportunities.
