TERN Portals:
(1) TERN’s context within the research data environment
(2)The vision for the TERN portal(s)
2011 TERN Symposium
(1) TERN’s context within the research data environment
• Relationship to existing data collection & distribution
• Data definition(s)?
• Open access data sets
• Future needs for data collection and integration
R.Woodcock, Auscope
• TERN’s relationship to environmental data: collection, storage, analysis and distribution

R.Woodcock, Auscope
• TERN’s relationship to environmental data: collection, storage, analysis and distribution
Data set definition(s)?
• A description of the research question(s)
• a description of the context of the field experiment
• a description of the experimental set-up
• report(s) containing raw measurement data
• description of methods and script(s) of algorithms used to process the data
• report(s) containing processed data
• report(s) containing analysis and published results (if any)
Open access (OA) data sets
• OA data is not common good. It is owned by the researchers who generated the data.
• Access to OA data is not unrestricted. Access to data is done via a gatekeeper who can restrict access to data sets depending on need and application.
• Use of OA data is not unconditional. Users of the TERN data have to abide by clearly stated and enforceable rules.
• OA data is not cost-free. TERN funds the installation and ongoing upkeep of infrastructure that is critical to the collection, storage, dissemination and re-use of the data.
TERN – Data Collection and Portal Structures
• TERN – Data Collection and Portal Structures
(2) The Vision for the TERN portal(s)
• Goals for TERN’s Portals
• Strategy for Developing TERN’s Portals
• Proposed Architecture for TERN’s Portals
• Status and Plans for TERN’s Portals
• Outline of the Portal Demonstrations and Feedback Requirements
Goals for TERN’s Portals
SCIENCE• Establish “long term” science as a priority for terrestrial ecosystem
research• Enable key ecosystem science groups to plan and organise long-term
infrastructure and support
TECHNOLOGY• Encourage the long-term sound data management practices by
including data production and citation as research performance indicators
• Set the foundations for a permanently-held and curated data archive
PEOPLE• Develop a network of “long term” research scientists• Identify and organise groups to access suitable long term funding
Strategy for Developing TERN’s Portals
• TERN is promoting an open access approach to ecosystem research data by:
SCIENCE• The development and promotion of methods and tools for increased
and improved re-use of data
TECHNOLOGY• The development and deployment of a nationwide, robust
and open cyber-infrastructure
PEOPLE• Produce a paradigm shift in the practice of sharing, uploading
and re-using research data sets
Strategies for Developing TERN’s Portals
• Building Australia’s terrestrial ecosystem data store– Leverage existing large data stores.– Fund large-scale data collection programs.
• Improve access to data for re-use– Use existing protocols to document and store data– Validate data against current standards before making
them available to the research community.
Proposed Architecture for TERN’s Portals
TERN Facility portals
SCIENCEData are peer-reviewedData stored for disciplinary research and analysis
TECHNOLOGYSpecialist metadata standardsDomain-specific tools
PEOPLELocal portal for a group of researchersThe portal is the result of a partnership
• TERN-wide portal
SCIENCEData are reviewed by expertsData stored as a resource for data synthesis and eScience
TECHNOLOGYGeneralist m’data standardsCross-disciplinary tools
PEOPLECentral gateway for the ecosystem research communityThe portal is the result of a collaboration
