ANDS Overview § In existence since 2009 § Currently c. 40 staff around Australia (mostly Melbourne and Canberra)
§ Scope: Research data (data that researchers produce and use)
§ Provides training, advocacy, services, policy support
§ No real equivalent in other countries CC-‐BY @atreloar 2
ANDS enables these transforma+ons: From data that are: " Uncollected " Unmanaged " Disconnected " Invisible " Single use
To aggrega+ons that are: " Collected " Managed " Connected " Findable " Reusable
so that Australian researchers can easily publish, discover, access and use/re-‐use research data.

Why have persistent object iden+fiers? § <conten+ous>Cool URIs can in theory be persistent, but in prac+ce they are suscep+ble to changes to: § filename § path § domain </conten+ous>
§ PIDs can best be seen as an indirec'on layer that reduces bri0leness in gecng to digital objects
§ But, PIDs are not magic pixie dust; assigning a PID does not make the object persistent!

Some thoughts on Persistence: Is it § Persistence of object?
§ Or mechanism to handle its non-‐persistence
§ Persistence of iden+fier? § Persistence of binding between iden+fier and object? § Persistence of service to resolve from iden+fier to object?
§ Persistence of service to allow for upda+ng of binding between iden+fier and object?

ANDS: Object iden+fiers § Started out providing Handles service § Founda+on members of DataCite § DOI Business model updated => DOI more airac+ve
§ Now Australian DataCite registrar § min+ng over 2K/month
§ M2M interface only § Management responsibility lies with data holders 7/08/2014 CC-‐BY @atreloar 9

ANDS: Person/Organisa+on iden+fiers § Space is complex: ORCID, VIAF, ISNI § Ini+ally, worked with NLA Trove ID
§ hip://nla.gov.au/nla.party-‐513559 § But “market momentum” appears to be moving towards ORCID
§ ANDS co-‐hosted very successful ORCID Roundtable with CAUL last month
§ Also member of ORCID Datacite Interoperability Network project

ANDS approach to Data Publishing § Publishing = making public § Collected – inten+onally group together data that will be most useful in re-‐use context
§ Managed – store in sustainable loca+on § Connected – ensure data is connected to context that produced it
§ Findable – register existence of data somewhere that enables its discovery
§ Reusable – ensure data comes with/is connected to enough informa+on for someone else to reuse

Key differen+ators for ANDS § Na+onally co-‐ordinated approach § Ins+tu+onally-‐focussed engagement
§ “helping them meet their research data ambi+ons”
§ Engaging with large na+onally-‐funded discipline investments
§ Bulk of funds spent outside ANDS § All disciplines covered § Focus on adding value to data and re-‐use

Major programs undertaken (200+ projects) § Seeding the Commons (fixing the past) § Data Capture (fixing the future) § Metadata Stores (managing ins+tu+onal research data assets)
§ Applica+ons (demonstra+ng value of joining data) § Major Open Data Collec+ons (content focus) § eResearch Infrastructure Connec+vity (connec+on focus)
