    Biological Data Working Group Past Working Group 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.
