A guide for those who want to learn something about
the process. Links access resources that .network
users often ask about. Most questions come from users involved in
development of locations, for example, the link to the summary of
best practices for places seeking economic development. If you do
not readily see a link for a resource of interest, ask
us to deliver on the .network search promise,
or if you are looking for a
location rather than a resource, move on to EDN/Area
Development.

* A location
data standard is the same thing as a site
selection data standard.

One way of defining location data presented for comparative
analysis: ... accurate information in a format that can
provide apples to apples comparisons of communities ... Quote

of economic development terms under the title: A
Summary of Economic Development Terms

The Network publishes an online newsletter to introduce
user-recommended
resources. It's news when a resource is discovered or becomes
available for our target audience of users because the idea behind
The Network is exchanging (virtual
networking) or sharing (publishing)
information. It's a free service we offer to publish descriptions
and links to worthwhile resources that can help to move the enterprise
and economic development processes forward. Publishing includes
critiques as well as comments about resources, and a limited number
of original resource papers or if you already have a paper or reprint
of something like a magazine article we are happy to publish a link
to it. Our newsletter is named The
Resource Report.
