1. What will you get from this talk?
Whowhat?
Why?
Some background
- DLCF - towards a more connected environment
What system are we developing?
A few implementation choices explained

2. What:

3. Research Data Services (RDS) *
Who:
Research Data Services (RDS) *
The Australian Access Federation (AAF)
Australian National Data Service (ANDS) *
National eResearch Collaboration
Tools and Resources (NeCTAR ) *
Australia’s Academic Research
Network (AARNET)
funded by the National Collaborative
Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)

4. Why? Theory vs Practice Scatter data across multiple disks,
thumbdrives and ,
annotate freehand if at all;
copypasta subsets and send them
to collaborators for processing;
if required and your funder really
insists, at conclusion of project zip up all data and dump it in a dark
repository, preferably without DOI

5. Why? The implementation / uptake gap in “good data practice”
recent policy: (Open Data etc)
Uptake gap
“traditional” eInfra territory
(NRENs, VREs, Uni IT etc)

6. note to self – you should probably check how you’re going for time at this point

7. Carrot and stick: DLCF using Cloudstor as the “data pump”
Examples: Cloudstor
DMP & provisioning
ingest 3
share
dropbox-like 4

HPC analyse/process
inc NCI, Pawsey, local HPC, etc 1 5 5
grants db
researchers
Project ID
Projects/ activities
Local DMP systems
