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（生物采集数据访问）是生物采集和观测数据交换的国际标准。 2001年开始开发； 2005 年，它被批准为 XML 模式，作为 TDWG 标准（生物多样性信息标准）。从一开始，ABCD 开发就基于 XML 模式，各个概念的文档表示为 XML 注释。通过合并和集成 BGBM 协调团队收集的用户需求，定期创建新的 ABCD 版本。这种方法在ABCD发展的第一个十年中是有效的。然而，由于用户社区的不断增长和多样化以及语义技术的引入，它已经达到了一定的极限。 ABCD 概念按层次排列，并由根节点的 xpath 引用。因此在语义网中直接使用是不可能的。拟议项目旨在开发一个平台，以机器可读的形式提供 ABCD 概念以及版本化文档。 ABCD 概念对 XML 模式的依赖性将得到解决，并且这些概念将作为语义 Web 的本体提供。 ABCD 标准 3.0 版将包括由各种特定领域扩展开发的概念，并将作为 XML 模式和语义 Web 中的本体提供。
