Overview
The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) is an overarching and integrated network designed to serve ecosystem research in Australia. It focusses on collating, calibrating, validating and standardising existing data sets.
The focus of the EcoInformatics Facility of TERN is on developing a system -- AEKOS, the Australian Ecological Knowledge and Observation System -- to manipulate, store, distribute and display ecological information, thereby improving the communication, understanding and management of the information to support scientific and policy-making processes.
The aim of this project is to furnish a mechanism for the EcoInformatics Facility to provide RIF-CS metadata pertaining to these ecological datasets, primarily to allow for their exposure through the Australian Natio
