ABSTRACT / INTRODUCTION

The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) believes that to maximise the impact of research data output of meritorious research, researchers must have timely access to high quality data collections stored on stable and persistent infrastructure. A primary framework to deliver this outcome are the FAIR data principles as applied to content, specifically valuable national data collections. Through partnerships with eligible organisations, the Data Retention Project focuses on the F, A and R aspects of FAIR and lays the foundations that embed incentives in both business and data management practices.


Partnerships in the Data Retention project will embed contemporary research data management processes that enrich data collections with controlled and consistent metadata into common infrastructure business models.


This presentation will discuss the challenges of bridging the gap between information management and service provision in the context of the ARDC strategic vision and explain the approaches we have taken to realise the benefits to the Australian research sector.
