ABCD (Access to Biological Collection Data) is an international standard for the exchange of biological collection and observation data. Development started in 2001; in 2005 it was ratified as an XML schema as TDWG standard (Biodiversity Information Standards). From the outset the ABCD development was based on an XML schema and the documentation of the individual concepts is represented as XML annotations. New ABCD-versions are created periodically by consolidating and integrating user requirements collected by the coordination team at the BGBM. This method was effective in the first decade of the ABCD development. However, due to a growing and diversifying user community and the introduction of semantic technologies it is reaching certain limits. The ABCD concepts are arranged hierarchically and are referenced by their xpath from the root node. A direct use in the Semantic Web is therefore not possible. The proposed project aims to develop a platform that provides ABCD concepts in a machine-readable form, together with a versioned documentation. The dependency of the ABCD concepts from an XML schema will be resolved and the concepts will be provided as an ontology for the Semantic Web. The version 3.0 of the ABCD standards will include the concepts developed by various domain specific extensions and will be made available both as an XML schema and as an ontology in the Semantic Web.

ABCD(获取生物收集数据)是交换生物收集和观测数据的国际标准。开发始于2001年；2005年，它被批准为TDWG标准(生物多样性信息标准)的XML模式。从一开始，ABCD开发就基于一个XML模式，各个概念的文档表示为XML批注。通过整合和整合BGBM协调小组收集的用户需求，定期创建新的ABCD版本。这种方法在ABCD发展的头十年是有效的。然而，由于不断增长和多样化的用户社区，以及语义技术的引入，它正在达到一定的限制。ABCD概念是按层次结构排列的，并由其从根节点开始的XPath引用。因此，在语义Web中直接使用是不可能的。拟议的项目旨在开发一个平台，以机器可读的形式提供ABCD概念，以及版本文档。将解决来自XML架构的ABCD概念的依赖关系，并将这些概念作为语义Web的本体提供。ABCD标准的3.0版将包括由各种领域特定扩展开发的概念，并将在语义Web中以XML模式和本体的形式提供。
