Alberta Conservation Information Management System (ACIMS) Sensitive Element Occurrence (EO) data contains tracked sensitive EO's for species of conservation concern in Alberta. This file contains EO polygons mapped based on NatureServe Methodology. Sensitive EO data is hazed (generalized) to the Alberta Township System Township (ATS) polygons (v4.1). ACIMS is the Alberta member of the international network of NatureServe Conservation Data Centres. The Government of Alberta is responsible for managing ecological data within the province of Alberta stored by NatureServe Canada. Vertebrate data is excluded. ACIMS Objectives:
(1) Conservation Planning: to help government agencies and conservation groups identify critical areas in need of protection, and to support the establishment of conservation priorities locally, regionally, nationally and globally; (2) Development Planning: to assist developers, government agencies and conservation groups design and implement ecologically sound development projects; (3) Natural Resource and Protected Area Management: to support improved management practices for natural areas to sustain ecosystems and significant biological features; and (4) Research and Education: to guide new basic and applied scientific research, and to be an important resource for long-term environmental monitoring and public education.

In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (often shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen, binominal name, or a scientific name; more informally, it is also called a Latin name.

In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is often based in Latin.

The SRank is provided for all ecological communities on the tracking list. The definition of each rank is provided below. Some ecological communities have been crosswalked with types that are also recognized in the United States. For these, GRanks are also provided.
The criteria used to assign a rank to a particular community are documented using a standardized format: Community ranking attempts to integrate all available information. The amount of information for the ranking factors varies for each community.
