Make scientific data FAIR
Scientific data are burgeoning — thousands of petabytes were collected in 2018 alone. But these data are not being used widely enough to realize their potential. Most researchers come up against obstacles when they try to get their hands on data sets. Only one-fifth of published papers typically...

A Research Graph dataset for connecting research data repositories using RD-Switchboard
This paper describes the open access graph dataset that shows the connections between Dryad, CERN, ANDS and other international data repositories to publications and grants across multiple research data infrastructures. The graph dataset was created using the Research Graph data model and the...

A new fundamental type of conformational isomerism
Isomerism is a fundamental chemical concept, reflecting the fact that the arrangement of atoms in a molecular entity has a profound influence on its chemical and physical properties. Here we describe a previously unclassified fundamental form of conformational isomerism through four resolved...

A Data Quality Strategy to Enable FAIR, Programmatic Access across Large, Diverse Data Collections for High Performance Data Analysis
To ensure seamless, programmatic access to data for High Performance Computing (HPC) and analysis across multiple research domains, it is vital to have a methodology for standardization of both data and services. At the Australian National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) we have developed a Data...

The Australian Geoscience Data Cube — Foundations and lessons learned
The Australian Geoscience Data Cube (AGDC) aims to realise the full potential of Earth observation data holdings by addressing the Big Data challenges of volume, velocity, and variety that otherwise limit the usefulness of Earth observation data. There have been several iterations and AGDC version 2...

Persistent Identifier Practice for Big Data Management at NCI
The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) manages over 10 PB research data, which is co-located with the high performance computer (Raijin) and an HPC class 3000 core OpenStack cloud system (Tenjin). In support of this integrated High Performance Computing/High Performance Data (HPC/HPD)...

Providing Research Graph data in JSON-LD using Schema.org
In this position paper, we describe a pilot project that provides Research Graph records to external web services using JSON-LD. The Research Graph database contains a large-scale graph that links research datasets (i.e., data used to support research) to funding records (i.e. grants), publications...

Graph Connections Made By RD-Switchboard Using NCI's Metadata
This paper demonstrates the connectivity graphs made by Research Data Switchboard (RD-Switchboard) using NCI's metadata database. Making research data connected, discoverable and reusable are some of the key enablers of the new data revolution in research. We show how the Research Data Switchboard...

Supporting Data Reproducibility at NCI Using the Provenance Capture System
Scientific research is published in journals so that the research community is able to share knowledge and results, verify hypotheses, contribute evidence-based opinions and promote discussion. However, it is hard to fully understand, let alone reproduce, the results if the complex data manipulation...
