2. Introduc/on
• Smart
Ci)es
–
Big
Data
used
to
make
decisions/predic)ons
about
ci)es
• Growing
need
for
data
access
in
urban
research
and
urban
planning
decisions
• Data
hard
to
find/use
• Australian
Urban
Research
Infrastructure
Network
(AURIN)
established
to
address
these
issues

3. AURIN
Approach
• Facilitate
merited
based
access
to
distributed
data
• Tools
to
find,
interrogate,
analyze
and
visualize
data
and
support
good
research
methodologies
• Enable
researchers
to
share
results,
interact
and
collaborate
• Allow
data
providers
to
keep
control
of
the
data
and
their
use
• Establishing
Data
Hubs
across
Australia
to
enable
simple
data
access
and
distribu)on

– INSPIRE
– Urban

8. AURIN
Data
Hubs
• AURIN
Objec)ve:
Improve
collec)on
and
integra)on
of
urban
research
datasets
• AURIN
Data
Hubs
facilitate
direct
data
access,
through
AURIN
portal
to
key
datasets
– Na)onal
Government
– State

– Local
Government
– Research

Data
Hubs

10. AURIN
Data
Hubs
• A
Data
Hub
facilitates
collabora)on
and
interac)on
between
end
users
and
data
custodians

11. AURIN
Data
Hubs
• Data
should
be
held
as
close
to
the
source
as
possible
• Data
Hubs
should
be
set
up
to
serve
a
broad
end-­‐user
community,
not
a
single
project.
• Sufficient
informa)on
will
be
provided
for
users
to
understand
data.

12. Melbourne
Data
Hub
• Signed
off
by
7
Secretaries
across
Victorian
Government
• Unlocked
over
120
dataset
to
urban
researchers
via
the
AURIN
portal
• Data
ingested
from
12
separate
data
custodians

13. Melbourne
Data
Hub
• User/stakeholder
groups
iden)fied
relevant
urban
data
• Data
Hub
established
using
GeoServer
at
UoM
• Custodians
contribute
data
to
single
distribu)on
loca)on
• AURIN
only
one
user
of
many
–
integrated
into
research
tools:
– Walkability
– Employment
– Housing
– Health

16. Conclusion
• Data
Hubs
increase
ease
of
data
discovery
and
use
• Mul)ple
Data
Hubs
successfully
integrated
in
the
AURIN
plaQorm
• AURIN
Data
Hubs
can
be
used
in
external
urban
research
applica)ons
• AURIN
is
implemen/ng
the
Data
Hubs
concept
to
support
urban
research
in
Australia

17. Next
Steps
• Con)nue
discussions
with
data
custodians
to
determine
future
possible
data
hubs
• Further
inves)gate
data.gov.au
sites
for
their
poten)al
as
data
hubs
• Inves)gate
consuming
live
data
feeds
form
Data
Hubs
• Develop
common
framework
for
establishing
new
Data
Hub
• Examine
opportuni)es
to
expand/scale-­‐up
exis)ng
data
hubs
to
support
new
users/applica)ons
beyond
the
current
AURIN
project
