Research Project
Brief description
Hosted by the CSIRO, the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) is a unique informatics platform that underpins the Integrated Biological Systems capability. The ALA is an authoritative, freely accessible, distributed and federated biodiversity data management system that links Australia’s biological knowledge with its scientific reference collections and other custodians of biological information.
In May 2009, the Australian Government committed additional funding through the Super Science Initiative to enhance and extend the Integrated Biological Systems capability.
