National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy

•
•
NCRIS – a new Australian Government Initiative
Australian Government: ~$500M for FY06-FY11
11 Capability Areas + one Systemic ICT Infrastructure
NCRIS Principles
– “Major infrastructure …should serve the research and innovation system
broadly, not just the host / funded institutions
– “...seek to enable the fuller participation of Australian researchers in the
international research system”

Web Map Service can’t “give data away.”
Roma
WMS GetMap returns a server’s
“dumb” JPEG, GIF or PNG
representation of the data on the
server. It does NOT return the actual
data, only a bitmap of the data.
22
Portrayal vs Analysis
Simple vs Community Schemas
Data can be easily exchanged within communities where
meaning is understood and humans are involved
Property = temperature, (only) Value = ’15-20’
For use in wider communities more precise definitions are
required that reflect the complexity of the real world
Property = temperature,
Value = 15 Unit = C Instrument = thermometer
Value = 17 Unit = C Instrument = thermometer
Value = 20 Unit = C Instrument = thermometer
OR
Property = temperature,
MinValue = 15 Unit = C
MaxValue = 20 Unit = C
Agreement at an international level enables data to be
reused, repurposed and used by other domains globally

Applications:
It’s not about you…it’s about them.

Benefits for…
• Providers
Spatial Information
Services• Stack
Users
– All providers get to retain their
back end database structures
– (Potential to have) consumers and
independent 3rd parties develop
their own portals and applications
– Accelerate time to results
– Enable collaboration and promote
operational flexibility
– Increase productivity
– Leverage existing capital
investments
– Increased access to data and
collaboration
applicable to other spatial
domains

Earth Science has many pieces that build our
understanding – Auscope brings them together
