Bioregional Assessment Programme
The Australian Government’s bioregional assessment programs provide transparent scientific information to better understand the potential impacts of unconventional gas and coal mining developments on water and the environment. There are two separate programs of bioregional assessments.
BoM Climate Services
The Climate Services unit within the Bureau of Meteorology
BoM Groundwater Unit
The Groundwater Unit within the Bureau of Meteorology
Stratigraphic Units Ontology
This is an extremely simple ontology - part of the Stratigraphic Units profile - whos purpose is only to provide a Semantic Web view of the data contained within the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database. Data from that database is also available according to a number of other profiles which, in some cases, this ontology specialises.
Ontology for the Australian National Soil Information System (ANSIS)
A domain-model for Australian soil data, including observations and sampling.
This domain model was developed in 2022 for the Australian National Soil Information System (ANSIS). It is based primarily on the elements described in the Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook (ASLS). The value space of most properties are encoded as controlled vocabularies hosted, which are currently available from Research Vocabularies Australia.
The model is formalized as an OWL Ontology. Cardinalities and property value-spaces are encoded as owl:Restrictions.
ASLS Landform classifiers
Classifiers described in chapter 5 Landform, by J.G. Speight, in Australian soil and land survey field handbook (3rd edn).
In this technique for describing landforms, the whole land surface is viewed as a mosaic of tiles of odd shapes and sizes. The scheme is intended to produce a record of observations rather than inferences.
ASLS Substrate classifiers
Classifiers described in chapter 9 Substrate, by R.C. McDonald and R.F. Isbell, in Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook (3rd edn)
This vocabulary deals with materials and masses of earth or rock that do not show pedological development. They are not soils, but typically underlie them.
ASLS Land Surface classifiers
Classifiers described in chapter 7 Land Surface, by R.C. McDonald, R.F. Isbell and J.G. Speight, in Australian soil and land survey field handbook (3rd edn).
Land surface is concerned mainly with surface phenomena affecting land use and soil development that have traditionally been noted at the point of soil observation.
ASLS Vegetation classifiers
Classifiers described in chapter 6 Vegetation, by R.J. Hnatiuk, R. Thackway and J. Walker in Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook (3rd edn).
The data was converted from the print representation to this linked-data form by Simon J D Cox
