ANDS and why we care about provenance Dr Andrew Treloar, Director of Technology CC-BY @atreloar
ANDS enables the transformation of: Data that are: • Unmanaged • Disconnected • Invisible • Single use To Structured Collections that are: • Managed • Connected • Findable • Reusable so that Australian researchers can easily publish, discover, access and use/re-use research data. CC-BY @atreloar
Minimal Research Lifecycle CC-BY-SA, @atreloar
ANDS’ Motivations • Unmanaged to Managed • Managing more of the context • Disconnected to Connected: • Richer connections between entities • Invisible to Findable: • Enhanced discovery • Assessment of value • Single Use to Reusable • More informed reuse CC-BY @atreloar
Open questions for ANDS • How to record provenance • What provenance information to capture • Where to store provenance information • How to connect provenance information to other entities (data, models, publications, parties, services) • How to describe provenance information for discovery CC-BY @atreloar
ANDS Provenance Activity • Australian Research Data Provenance Interest Group • Funding joint NeCTAR/ANDS Virtual Laboratory projects: • Standalone provenance capture service (Nic Carr/Ryan Fraser) based on PROV-O • Discipline VL projects using this service: biodiversity, natural hazards, earth science, astronomy, marine • Contributing to this IG CC-BY @atreloar
