The Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) currently manages several systems and products relating to biodiversity data.
Many of these have been developed independently over the years and transferred to the Biodiversity Information Systems team (BIST) for management.
This includes the Atlas of NSW Wildlife, BioNet Atlas, NSW Vegetation Information system and the Threatened Species web application. The aim of the naming protocol is to make the use of legacy product and system names consistent for users.
