This working group's activities have ended.
The Biological Data Working Group is established to promote development and coordination of standards for biological data in order to increase compatibility in the development, use, sharing, and dissemination of biological data among government agencies and other interested institutions. The Working Group will develop means to facilitate the sharing and consistent use of biological data standards and protocols, and will help encourage interagency partnerships in developing and implementing these standards and protocols. The Working Group will help integrate biological data standards activities into the National Spatial Data Infrastructure and the National Biological Information Infrastructure.
