Phenomics Data & Informatics Workshop 2010, Friday, 23rd April 2010
Australian National Data Service (ANDS) An initiative of the Australian Government being
conducted as part of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy ($A24M) and the Super Science Initiative ($A48M)
A collaboration between Monash University, the Australian National University and CSIRO

Australian Research Data Commons

What does ANDS provide? Online Services
ANDS infrastructure to support data registration, identification, publication, classification, etc
Expertise and information consultancy recommendations, policy, and advice capability building Information sharing, sharing experience
Resourcing Community infrastructure projects Institutional change Funding for data activities, infrastructure development
Policy advocacy
Supporting discovery and re-use
Create/Capture Adding metadata is done most cheaply and
effectively as close as possible to point of creation/capture Treloar/Wilkinson, DOI 10.1109/eScience.2008.41
ANDS funding $17M of projects to improve data capture $12M with institutions $5M thematically
Store ANDS doesn’t do storage, but it cares that it
happens well Australian Code for Responsible Conduct of
Research a driver here Working with institutional and national data stores Tight integration with Australian Research
Collaboration Services and new National Data Fabric
Describe Information for discovery Information for determination of value Information for access Information for re-use Notes:
Ideally all of these should be available at discovery time Driven by desire to enable re-use

Identify Persistent identifiers for data provide level of
indirection to assist with longterm access Handles (based on CNRI infrastructure)
Identify my Data service now available human and machine interfaces
Digital Object Identifiers for data ANDS has just joined DataCite consortium Available soon
Register Feeds ANDS Registry for discovery and re-use Supports OAI-PMH harvest
Preferred format RIF-CS Can also transform from other XML schemas
XML GET RIF-CS, other XML
Manual entry (Register My Data service)
Discover Use Registry info to generate richly interlinked web
pages for spidering Range of other discovery interfaces on
development roadmap spatial temporal image

Access Direct link to open-access data Link to datastore with its own access controls
register/login only for open access register/login for restricted access
Contact information for how to get data Metadata only (no access)
variations in how people feel about this
Exploit Could also be called Use Focused on the kinds of things that can be built on
top of data once it is re-usable mashups data fusion cross-disciplinary visualisation
ANDS planning to fund activity here under Applications program
New Services development Needs analysis process Nov/Dec 2009
