Abstract
In this paper we detail a number of recommendations regarding how to evaluate interfaces to systems providing public access to environmental data and information. The primary focus is based upon web and Internet-based interfaces. These recommendations will assist data providers and information managers to evaluate the effectiveness of their current data access interfaces. The paper also outlines some guidelines on how to ensure these software interfaces are accessible to all citizens.
