This repository contains the Australian Biodiversity Information Standard (ABIS). ABIS is made of multiple resources: documents, code files and other resources. Together these present ABIS' definitions, rules and tools for its use.
See the following starting points:
- Overview Document - A single page description of what ABIS is and how to use it
- If you are new to ABIS, start here!
- Standard Definition - Formally describes the ABIS and its parts, as per international standards
- Specification - ABIS' business rules, requirements
This Standard is in an early stage of development, as of June 2022.
This work is being conducted as part of the Biodiversity Data Repository (BDR) project for the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE). The technical work for ABIS is being conducted by SURROUND Australia Pty Ltd with input from Gaia Resources and TERN.
ABIS is owned by the Australian Biodiversity Governance Group (AusBIGG) and managed by the ABIS working group with asstance from the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment and TERN.
