FAIMS Project Details
The Field Acquired Information Management Systems Project is a research project led by the Macquarie University that builds tools for digital data collection in the field and helps field researchers shepherd their digital data through its entire lifecycle. Project staff also advise researchers concerning the development of data management strategies that meet the requirements of major grant schemes and improve research outcomes.The FAIMS project launched in June 2012, with funding from the National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources program (2013-2014), and continues thanks to the Australian Research Council Linkage Infrastructure Equipment and Facilities grant (2015-2016) and Research Acceleration and Attraction Program award (2017). The flagship software, FAIMS Mobile, is a generalised platform for field data collection in degraded network environment. It works fully offline and allows for painless synchronisation and integration of structured, free-text, geospatial data, and multimedia. FAIMS is a community-driven, open-source project that has been supporting field deployments in Australia and overseas since 2014. Although FAIMS has its roots in archaeology, FAIMS Mobile is now being used in a variety of disciplines, including geosciences, ecology, and history. FAIMS seeks to develop technologies that address shared field research problems across disciplines.
