We are building a Global Organism Detection and Monitoring (GODM) system to provide central storage and global distribution of information on the location of invasive species, their associated species, environmental habitats, and treatment efforts. Enterprise level databases, high-performance Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the world-wide-web now allow resource managers the world over to add their data to a centralized system, combine it with other datasets, perform analysis on current and potential species distributions, and download the data for local use. Users can manage their own projects, browse information on invasive species, and create custom maps for publishing on the web or in print. GODM provides a single node in a growing network of databases accessible to resource managers. NIISS is working to provide statistical estimates of potential invasive species distributions. In the near future, the synergy of these databases and datasets over the Internet will provide unprecedented access to data and analysis tools.
