The Australian Dictionary of Biography Online and Emerging Information Systems: Networking Research Capability

The Australian Dictionary of Biography Online and Emerging National Information Systems Project will extend the capacity of the ADB Online to act as a key agent in the development of a national open-information network for research in the humanities and social sciences. In association with national cultural institutions, the project will create sustainable links between information systems and will pioneer ground-breaking research capabilities. Setting new standards for accessibility and usability, it will be a major driver in the development of a comprehensive network of digitised resources. It will provide advanced cultural informatics able to be adapted to accommodate technological innovations and the changing needs of scholarship.
