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

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. What can the DAP mean to CSIRO researchers? • 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 CSIRO Data Access Portal| Sue Cook

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. 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. 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. 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
