<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This project will provide some funding for the RP, and allow us to pursue innovative new enhancements – a national grazinglands vocabulary/ontology, a grazing-centric document
collection, and mobile-oriented access to these resources – to our collective work at GlobalRangelands.org. The core project teams are at Idaho and Arizona, but we’ll be engaging a number of RP members for help and expertise as the project progresses. I’ve
attached the project “factsheet” and proposal narrative to provide more details about it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
