  1. Metadata for Re-Use: the Australian National Data Service and the role of Institutional Repositories Andrew Treloar, Deputy Director, ANDS ands.org.au

  2. Relevant background for me • Monash University Information Management strategy • Australian Research Repositories Online to the World (ARROW) • Dataset Acquisition, Annotation and Accessibility eResearch Technologies (DART) • Australian ResearCH Enabling enviRonment (ARCHER) ands.org.au

  3. Australian Repository Landscape • All universities have IR • funded out of ASHER program • 13 of 40 use VITAL, rest a mix of ePrints, dSpace, Digitool, etc. • Almost without exception, content is publications only • Monash ARROW repository has some datasets, loading more ands.org.au

  4. Data stores • Large universities have one or are building one • Australian Research Collaboration Service is building out national data fabric • A$50M for storage • A$37M for services • A$12M for discipline-specific applications • All publicly-funded researchers in Australia should get access ands.org.au

  5. Australian National Data Service • Funded by Australian Government at A$24M+48M ($A72M = €44M or £39M) through to mid-2011 • Largest current national investment in data management • Seven programs of work: Frameworks/Capabilities, Data Capture, Public Data Access, Metadata Stores, ARDC Core, Seeding the Commons, Applications • Vision: More researchers re-using more data more often ands.org.au

  6. Australian Research Data Commons

  7. Driving and enabling re-use1 • Information for discovery • Information for determination of value • Information for access • Information for re-use • Ideally all of these should be available at discovery time [1] Drawing on thinking from UKDA (data-archive.ac.uk) ands.org.au

  8. Information for discovery • Closest thing to catalogue metadata • Some can be inferred • Some can be extracted from other systems • Some has to be entered manually ands.org.au

  9. Information for determination of value • Helping a researcher decide if they want to re-use • Based on as much context as possible • experimental design • researcher • research program • institution • linked publications • availability of re-use metadata (see later) ands.org.au

  10. Information for access • To enable researcher to get to data • Four possibilities • 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 ands.org.au

  11. Information for re-use • Varies hugely by discipline • Possible elements • variable names and scales (Temp?) • instrument settings for experiment • calibration values for instrument against reference • reagents used • rights restrictions ands.org.au

  17. Metadata Stores solutions • Use existing IR • Newcastle • Build something new • ADFI/USQ Fascinator-derivative • Griffith/QUT Mediaflux-derivative • UniMelb VITRO application • Monash Oracle application • Something else (TBF) ands.org.au
