Australian National Data Service

More Australian researchers reusing research data more often.

Research Data Australia is a set of web pages describing data collections produced by or relevant to Australian researchers. It is designed to promote visibility of research data collections in search discovery engines such as Google and Yahoo, to encourage their re-use. For more information please see the relevant ANDS guide.

The Australian National Data Service (ANDS) aims to:

• influence national policy in the area of data management in the Australian research community
• inform best practice for the curation of data
• transform the disparate collections of research data around Australia into a cohesive collection of research resources

 

 

ANDS is funded by the Australian Commonwealth Government's Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR). The funding has been provided through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) as part of the Platforms for Collaboration Investment Plan.

In mid-2009 ANDS was further funded by the Education Investment Fund (EIF) for the establishment of the Australian Research Data Commons under the Super Science Initiative.
