REEIS DATA
REEIS imports data from a number of sources, standardizes and aggregates it for effective reporting, and presents it to users through data marts where data marts are collections of data targeted to a specific purpose and/or audience. For example, the 4-H data mart is targeted for users interested in the 4-H program; the data mart combines data from the 4-H program and the U. S. Census, and includes links to related websites to give a picture of 4-H enrollment over time and the context of the U. S. population of students who could potentially be enrolled.
