ANU Data Commons: Enabling E-Research for Enhanced Data Discovery and Access

ANU Data Commons provides a repository for datasets, allowing researchers to deposit, update, and publish data to Research Data Australia while retaining ownership. Built on ANDS-funded projects, it captures research data and metadata, offering seamless data discovery and access. Technology based on Fedora Commons enables rich access control and user-friendly interfaces for data management. Progress is promising, with self-deposit interfaces and plans to populate the commons with diverse datasets.

Presentation Transcript

  1. ANU Data Commons Enabling E Research

  2. What is it ? • Building a repository for data sets • data can be deposited • updated • published to Research Data Australia • Researcher retains ownership of data • can decide what can/should be made public

  3. Context • Built on the back of two ANDS funded projects • Seeding the Commons • Identify existing datasets, including orphan and legacy datasets and publish descriptions of them in Research Data Australia • ANU Data Commons metadata will be sufficient for data to be discovered and accessed. • Data Capture • Build workflows and mechanisms in Earth Sciences, Optical Astronomy, Phenomics, and Digital Humanities to capture research data as it is generated and publish it

  4. There's a third related project ... Metadata storesaims to provide a virtual solution that will tie together information about individual researcher's identity and their research (grants, publications, other outputs and research data), thus providing a whole of institution view of scholarly research.

  5. Technology • Based on Fedora Commons • rich access control • web interface to allow researchers to upload, update, publish data • also a command line tool that is scriptable for automated upload

  6. Storage • Storage including backup provided by DOI storage infrastructure • Currently no restrictions on size or type of data deposited

  7. Progress • Almost here • most functionality present • data can be deposited and retrived • collection records can be published to RDA • keen to work with researchers to get data into the ANU Data Commons and flowing into RDA during the Beta phase. • in November there will be a user interface for self deposit.

  8. Populating the commons • Lisa Bradley seconded from library to conduct audit of datasets • will be contacting yourselves and individual researchers about data • you may get queries from your researchers • aim is to get at least 50 data sets into Research Data Australia • Happy to work with individual researchers to upload data during open beta
