Australian National Data Service
The Australian National Data Service (ANDS) was established in 2008 in order to help address the challenges of storing and managing Australia's research data, and making it discoverable and accessible for validation and reuse. It was a joint collaboration between Monash University, The Australian National University and CSIRO. In 2018 ANDS was merged with Nectar and Research Data Services to form the Australian Research Data Commons.[1]
Background
ANDS was funded by the Australian Department of Education. The funding had been provided through Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) as part of the Platforms for Collaboration Investment Plan.[2] The NCRIS roadmap emphasised the vital importance of eResearch Infrastructure to Australian future research competitiveness.[3] In mid-2009 ANDS was further funded by the Education Investment Fund (EIF) for the establishment of the Australian Research Data Commons under the Australian Government’s Super Science Initiative.[4]
Research Data Australia
Research Data Australia (formerly the ANDS Collections Registry) was an online discovery service run by ANDS.[5][6] It allows researchers to publicise the existence of their research data and enable prospective users of that data to find it.
Research Data Australia made use of the ISO 2146-based RIF-CS metadata standard.[7]
