Mission: World-class, high-end computing services for Australian research and innovation

What is NCI:• Australia’s most highly integrated e-infrastructure environment• Petascale supercomputer + highest performance research cloud + highest performance storage in the

southern hemisphere• Comprehensive & integrated expert service — internat. vanguard• National/internationally renowned support team

NCI is national and strategic:• Driven by national research priorities and excellence• Engaged with research institutions/collaborations and industry• A capability beyond the capacity of any single institution• Sustained by a collaboration of agencies/universities ($11+M p.a.)

NCI is important to Australia because it:• Enables research that otherwise would be impossible• Enables delivery of world-class science• Enables interrogation of big data, otherwise impossible• Enables high-impact research that matters; informs public policy• Attracts and retains world-class researchers for Australia• Catalyses development of young researchers’ skills

RD-Switchboard and integration with Research Data Australia

As Australia’s first university our reputation spans more than 160 years. In 2014, we were ranked in the top 0.3% of universities worldwide. Across 16 Faculties we taught more than 33,000 undergraduate and 19,000 postgraduate students, including 10,800 international students from more than 145 countries.

The Australian Federal Government’s Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative rated our research at “above and well above world standard across 21 (of 22) broad discipline areas.

These disciplines include earth sciences, agricultural and veterinary sciences, mathematical sciences, engineering, biomedical and clinical health sciences, psychology and cognitive sciences, law and legal studies, language and communication, history and archaeology, and philosophy and religious studies.

LOD Research GraphGESIS – Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences is the largest infrastructure institution for the Social Sciences in Germany. With da|ra, GESIS provides access to the data referencing system for social science research data.

• Purpose:

• Making connections between high-value collections (research datasets) and other scholarly works such as publications and grants discoverable in Europe

• Goals:

• Research graph that holds the connections between datasets, publications and grant information from European and Australian research institutions

• Software service that makes the graph accessible to third party software systems, data repositories and infrastructure providers

• Integration of the graph in the ResearchGraph.org website with results accessible using Linked Open Data and JSON-LD

• Challenges:

• Research an efficient way to link to GRID and organization Graph

• Research an efficient way to link to vocabulary Graph

• Access to new data sources

RMIT is a global university of technology, design and enterprise.One of Australia's original tertiary institutions, RMIT University enjoys an international reputation for excellence in professional and vocational education, applied research, and engagement with the needs of industry and the community.

RMIT is a world leader in Art and Design; Architecture; Education; Engineering; Development; Computer Science and Information Systems; Business and Management; and Communication and Media Studies.

A pilot project with Research Graph

Deliverables:• identification of differences between data derived from Graph and RM.• identification of “important" data that is not in RM that can be derived from

the larger Graph.• document opportunities to improve the larger Graph from RMIT University’s

data, and vice-versa.

Purpose: • compare the data from Graph with data from RMIT University’s Research

Master (RM) system.• evaluate the technical aspect, such as: ease of configuration, deployment,

usability, etc.• identify the “value add” to existing institutional data through integration with

the larger Graph.• prepare the groundwork for a larger project which will deploy Graph into a

production environment.

Goal: • create a set of RMIT records that contain Researcher, Publication, Research

data and Grants models from the Graph schema. These records would include data about a small number of top-performing researchers at RMIT University.
