 Toward a Concept Inventory: Project features
Since this is a new type of project, it should not encounter the apparently insurmountable difficulties of those concerned with organizing the computerized exchange of bibliographical information.
Whatever procedure is adopted, it is essential, for the vitality and general relevance of the project, that a wide range of people and organizations should be in a position to add entities to the file – given a few simple safeguards.
It has been stressed that this project does not require a complex notation system since each concept is represented by a single sequence number, plus an indication of the model number in question, if required.

The project is headed by Reynaldo Benally, a Navajo teenager who attends the school, and a team of fellow students he has assembled.
The project's purpose is to employ and use cutting-edge technology to enhance the efficiency and quality of rock art recording/imaging as well as to develop a working model for the research community.
Rather than developing a centralized repository of data, this project proposes and is developing a centralized repository of metadata (data about data) that is an index or inventory of the collections/archives of rock art data around the world.

A two-year project is underway in Europe to produce a register of marine species, linked with a bibliography of identification guides, a register of European marine species identification experts, locations of reference specimens, and an Information Pack on European marine biodiversity (based on the project's results).
As the project developed, it became clear that there were both issues of authorship and ownership of data to be resolved.
The European project is one component of a global taxonomic inventory project, called Species 2000, which seeks to list all species in the world.

The TREES Project (Tropical Resources and Environment monitoring by Satellites) was established in 1990 as a joint activity between the CEC Joint Research Centre and the European Space Agency (TREES, 1991).
The TREES project is introducing a seasonal characteristic in the vegetation classification through the systematic use of temporal data.
Indeed, if it is accepted that satellite imagery is the major source of information for global mapping of vegetation, classification schemes must be developed which at the same time satisfy the need for information by foresters, ecologists, climate modellers etc. and the capabilities of the observation/mapping technology.

 EPA : Global Warming : Emissions : State : State GHG Inventories
Each inventory identifies the major sources of GHG emissions and creates a baseline upon which reduction strategies are based.
The inventories present annual emissions of GHGs by sector (e.g., energy, agriculture, waste), by source (e.g., transportation emissions, manure management), and by gas (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane).
The methods on which the inventories are based generally estimate GHG emissions as a function of (a) activity data (e.g., electricity usage, cement production, fertilizer consumption, etc.) and (b) activity- and gas-specific emission factors.
