Sustaining the delivery of data streams ‘from sensor to portal’ involves complex processes, with many steps to be taken by many individuals, often from different institutions in different locations.  Workflow diagrams have been developed to document these processes so as to clarify roles and responsibilities, and provide a basis for improvement of these processes over time. 

The workflow diagrams for all Facilities can be located here.
