1. CSIRO’s Data Access Portal Sue Cook | Research Data Services Support 18 March 2014

2. 2 | What we have done: Data Access Portal (DAP), data.csiro.au Developed by CSIRO Information Management & Technology (IM&T) and research partners Secure repository Enables external publication but options for other access levels Self serve and enterprise wide Options for searching, retrieving and downloading CSIRO Data Access Portal| Sue Cook

3. 3 | linking of data to publications recognition of data producers- attribution statements, data citations in same way as publications- DOIs for public collections, deposit of data to preserve it discovery and reuse of data- exposed to multiple discovery points, web services management of data sharing of data with collaborators, internally and externally, nationally and internationally- flexible access and permissions framework, choice of licences What can the DAP mean to CSIRO researchers? CSIRO Data Access Portal| Sue Cook

4. 4 | What worked? DOIs opened ears and eyes. They resonate! DAP was built for self service but we needed to incorporate help with metadata creation and data preparation into our support services Catching people at the right point in their data/research lifecycle The project is current or very nearly – people quickly move on to the next project – no time or resources to revisit – IP/ownership issues become more difficult to unravel – data format/structure issues harder to resolve There are motivating factors eg. funder requirements, journal policies, discipline data sharing culture CSIRO Data Access Portal| Sue Cook

5. 5 | What’s next? Enhancing the system Object (file) level metadata, discovery, downloads Support for larger collections – numbers of files + overall size Linking to other data repositories within CSIRO And reviewing DOI business rules so that ALL CSIRO data has the capability to be cited easily regardless of location Incentives Data collections as reportable outputs Publications and data links in media releases, news items News items on data reuse Google Analytics reports to notify top-viewed, top-downloaded depositors CSIRO Data Access Portal| Sue Cook

6. 6 | What’s next? Making connections Data + Software + publications + visualisations + workflows Collections – presenting data as an organisational asset that reflects our research strengths Integrating provenance Linking to internal systems- eg staff profiles, research profiles, connecting data outputs to research activities Connect the data to HPC eg Pulsar pipeline Increasing auto ingest Feeds into other external portals eg TERN CSIRO Data Access Portal| Sue Cook

7. 7 | What’s next? BIG data: Linking DAP to CASDA  CSIRO ASKAP Science Data Archive  CASDA will become the primary point for storing, managing, sharing and using processed ASKAP data products.  Project to expose CASDA data via the DAP CSIRO Data Access Portal| Sue Cook
