RDA EU Webinar - DDRI WG / April2017
Overview:
Driven by the rapid development of data storage technology, the number of data repositories is growing fast. Researchers now have access to a range of data infrastructures such as discipline-specific repositories and national (regional) data infrastructures. The problem is that these infrastructures are often operating in silos; that is, they do not connect their datasets to related research information in other platforms.
One solution to this problem is the work undertaken by the Data Description Registry Interoperability (DDRI) WG of Research Data Alliance (RDA). The group has developed the Research Data Switchboard which connects datasets and related information across research data repositories using information on co-authorship and jointly funded projects.
In this webinar, Dr Amir Aryani presents an overview of the Switchboard project and discuss how it enables connecting datasets to the Research Graph -- a distributed graph of scholarly works derived by the Switchboard project. Also, we will show a live demo of traversing the graph of connections between publications, datasets, researchers and research projects across repositories and data infrastructures.
Target Audience:
Research data managers, government agency representatives, data infrastructure managers, and technologists who are interested in interoperabilities between research infrastructures

Mission: World-class, high-end computing services for Australian research and innovation
What is NCI:
• Australia’s most highly integrated e-infrastructure environment
• Petascale supercomputer + highest performance research cloud + highest performance storage in the
southern hemisphere
• Comprehensive & integrated expert service — internat. vanguard
• National/internationally renowned support team
NCI is national and strategic:
• Driven by national research priorities and excellence
• Engaged with research institutions/collaborations and industry
• A capability beyond the capacity of any single institution
• Sustained by a collaboration of agencies/universities ($11+M p.a.)
NCI is important to Australia because it:
• Enables research that otherwise would be impossible
• Enables delivery of world-class science
• Enables interrogation of big data, otherwise impossible
• Enables high-impact research that matters; informs public policy
• Attracts and retains world-class researchers for Australia
• Catalyses development of young researchers’ skills

32. As Australia’s first university our reputation spans
more than 160 years. In 2014, we were ranked in
the top 0.3% of universities worldwide.
Across 16 Faculties we taught more than 33,000
undergraduate and 19,000 postgraduate
students, including 10,800 international students
from more than 145 countries.
The Australian Federal Government’s Excellence in
Research for Australia (ERA) initiative rated our
research at “above and well above world
standard across 21 (of 22) broad discipline
areas.
These disciplines include earth sciences,
agricultural and veterinary sciences, mathematical
sciences, engineering, biomedical and clinical
health sciences, psychology and cognitive sciences,
law and legal studies, language and
communication, history and archaeology, and

33. LOD Research Graph
GESIS – Leibniz-Institute for
the Social Sciences is the
largest infrastructure institution
for the Social Sciences in
Germany. With da|ra, GESIS
provides access to the data
referencing system for social
science research data.
• Purpose:
• Making connections between high-value collections (research
datasets) and other scholarly works such as publications and grants
discoverable in Europe
• Goals:
• Research graph that holds the connections between datasets,
publications and grant information from European and Australian
research institutions
• Software service that makes the graph accessible to third party
software systems, data repositories and infrastructure providers
• Integration of the graph in the ResearchGraph.org website with results
accessible using Linked Open Data and JSON-LD
• Challenges:
• Research an efficient way to link to GRID and organization Graph
• Research an efficient way to link to vocabulary Graph
• Access to new data sources
37. Two main challenges
• Connecting
• Open data infrastrcutures to
• Close Research Management systems
• Reducing the cost and techinical requitement for
implementing the Switchboard and creating
connected research graphs.
