Towards the Australian Data Commons - a proposal for an Australian National Data Service
This paper is designed to encourage, inform and ultimately summarise the discussions around the appropriate strategic and technical descriptions of the Australian National Data Service (ANDS); to fill in the outline in the Platforms for Collaboration investment plan. The development of ANDS is intended to provide the essential meeting place where the Australian path forward for research data management can evolve and where a vision can be achieved. This vision will articulate over time policies and guidelines that are readily understood and interpreted while simultaneously creating exemplars of best practice covering: research data ownership and the roles and responsibilities associated with ownership; access to research data collected and maintained with public funding; and best practice for the curation of experimental, research and published data.
