NWCG Data Administration Working Group (DAWG)

The DAWG is chartered under the NWCG Information Resource Management Working Team. The DAWG coordinates the standardization process for NWCG data standards.

The DAWG membership consists of data stewards affiliated with each of the NWCG working teams. These data stewards represent specific data areas in the wildland fire community.

Data standards are developed by the business community, under the guidance of the appropriate data steward, and routed through the DAWG for review, approval, and publication.
