Interim

Draft governance under interim stewardship. The Landscape Archive Foundation is stewarded and powered by The Landscape Vault until an independent Foundation entity is established. Terms here are for consultation — seek qualified legal advice before relying on them. Register interest in governance updates.

Foundation

Terms

These terms cover the public Foundation site and the open TLA-185 / TLA-169 grammar. They sit beside the Archive Terms of Use, which govern commercial products, subscriptions, and desktop tools.

The public specification is published under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. Commercial implementation, filled Archive packages, and Archive Seal are licensed separately.

Public specification

TLA-185 is the published plant-metadata spine. Anyone may read and cite the open grammar under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.

Attribution is required. Non-commercial reference use is permitted without modification under that licence. A written Archive licence is required to implement the standard in commercial products and workflows.

Archive Seal and commercial products

Archive Seal is a commercial attestation issued by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd. It records that a named organisation pack or output was sealed under the Archive’s published workflow at a stated time.

Foundation Approved is a Foundation recognition path. TLA-185 is the published spine. Citing the open grammar is not a Seal, a Foundation Approved mark, or a licence to a filled Archive package.

Accounts and sign-in

Foundation member programme pages use your existing Landscape Archive account through the identity bridge. People join organisations; there is no separate company login.

Open specification, registry, governance, awards, and volunteer pages remain public.

Professional use

TLA-185 is the published plant-metadata spine. Open grammar, Field Notes, and draft living-system orbits are reference material for studio and teaching work. A registered professional remains responsible for site investigation, statutory approvals, and design judgment.

Archive Seal is a commercial attestation issued by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd. Foundation Approved is a Foundation recognition path when criteria are published. A local inspect on this site records a workstation step. None of those marks is a statutory accreditation, government endorsement, or ISO certification.

Acceptable use

Readers may cite the open grammar under the published Creative Commons notice. Commercial implementation, filled Archive packages, and Archive Seal remain separately licensed.

Use this site in a way that respects the published licence, the identity bridge, and other readers. Binding Archive acceptable-use terms sit in the Archive Terms of Use.

Intra-group licence

Credentials

Academic qualifications held by the founder may be confirmed with the awarding institution through that institution’s standard verification or alumni-verification process. This site does not publish student numbers, transcripts, or other private identifiers.

Legal notices for the Foundation site may be sent to admin@landscapearchive.com.au. These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, in the same lane as the Archive Terms of Use.

The Landscape Archive Foundation is stewarded and powered by The Landscape Vault Pty Ltd — the IP holding company that owns the underlying software and holds the public TLA-185 / TLA-169 specification copyright. The Foundation is not yet incorporated as an independent entity; copyright is intended for assignment to it once a suitable independent entity is established. If and when incorporated, the Foundation remains a separate non-commercial steward of the open specification — not an industry association or professional institute. Commercial products and support are operated by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd.

Made in Australia. The open TLA-185 standard is international; landscapearchive.com.au is the live commercial hub; additional regional hubs are planned and not live until published. We do not claim ownership of landscapearchive.com.
