Advisor to The Atlas of Living Australia
Phase 1
Complete
AIM
To develop an authoritative, freely accessible
biodiversity data management system for the
Australian region
AUDIENCE
• The public
• Education (primary to post graduate)
• Land use planners
• Land managers
• Environmental consultants
Information about Species
E.g., description, images, “Where does or could this
species occur"”, identification, classification"etc
Species Pages
Information About Areas
E.g., species lists/observations/richness, climate,
soil, salinity, land use, land cover, topography,
chemistry, ecosystem" etc (~400 layers)
•Terrestrial and marine
•‘Environmental’ and ‘Contextual’
Link Species and Environment
E.g.1: What is the environmental associated with this species?
E.g.2: Where in the Australian does this environment condition occur?
Precipitation - driest quarter
Precipitation – seasonality
Radiation – seasonality
Radiation - warmest quarter
Moisture Index - highest quarter mean
Weathering intensity index
2030A1BMk35M: Evaporation – month
2030A1BMk35M: Precipitation - driest month
2030A1BMk35M: Precipitation - equinox seasonality ratio
2030A1BMk35M: Precipitation - spring or autumn season
2030A1BMk35M: Water stress index - month max
Design Principles• Open source and data
• Different interfaces for different communities of use
• Use of international standards (e.g., TDWG, OGC, W3C") & Best Current Practice (there are so many standards")
• Atlas functions are web services
• Maximize potential applications through comprehensive and consistent integrated biological and environmental data and processes
• Tools and services that demonstrate the value-add from integrated data
• Extensive support for data import and export
• Ability for anyone to annotate any data
