developed and managed by IBIS requires balancing 'business as usual' support (to keep applications technically up to date and fix issues) against the delivery of new functionality and capacity.
    * The business knowledge underpinning the applications IBIS maintains is increasingly complex and specific to the biodiversity domain.
    * Access to appropriate technical skill sets to maintain systems is challenging. Critical succession planning is essential for ensuring long-term, sustainable support for the business needs of the ANBG, CANBR and collaborative partners.
    * The move to cloud-based hosting and support requires adequate ongoing infrastructure, hosting and support resourcing.

What we are going to do

Policies
2.6.1       Under the CANBR Agreement, the ANBG and CANBR will be jointly responsible for, or for contributing to, coordinating, maintaining and updating important national botanic databases developed by the ANBG, other relevant departmental biodiversity programs and CSIRO.
2.6.2       ANBG and CANBR data collections will be managed in accordance with national and international collaborations (e.g. CHAH, the Atlas of Living Australia and the Catalogue of Life) and standards (e.g. Darwin Core) for the effective management and sharing of botanical information.
2.6.3       The ANBG will contribute expertise and concepts that aid in the design and implementation of national and international systems and biodiversity data exchange standards.

Actions
2.6.4       Maintain IBIS on a stable, supported, cost-effective platform for all scientific systems and data collections.
2.6.5       Enhance ANBG living collections system capacity to better enable horticultural collection curation and strategic policies (see also Section 2.1).
2.6.6       Optimise seed collection data workflows (see also Section 2.2).
2.6.7       Integrate new seed data acquisition, including the digital imaging of seed collections, with linked ANBG data systems (see also Section 2.2).
2.6.8       Work with CSIRO to deliver a new collections management system for herbarium‑associated data (see also Section 2.3), including integration with other ANBG and national collections.
2.6.9       Work with CSIRO to digitally connect high-resolution (digitised) herbarium specimen images to relevant ANBG collections.
     2.6.10       Deliver a digital asset management system as a scientific image depository for ANBG, CANBR and partners (see also Section 2.4).
     2.6.11       Provide web services for ANBG and CANBR to agreed Australian taxonomic concepts, through the National Species List and associated databases.

2.7       Access to biological resources

Background
Access to biological resources in Commonwealth areas is regulated under Part 8A of the EPBC Regulations. If the biological resources are native species or the access is for commercial purposes, it is also covered by ss 354 and 354A of the EPBC Act. Taking, keeping or moving a member of a native species is prohibited under the EPBC Act, except when carried out in accordance with a management plan or authorised by a permit issued by the Director of National Parks.
