Numerous Australian institutions are contributing data descriptions to the Australian National Data Services' discovery portal, Research Data Australia (RDA). Records of varying levels of quality and richness have been created. There are currently no designated exemplars of good practice, or guidelines for the economical production of high quality and information rich data descriptions. The ANDS/QUT RDA Gold Standard Record Exemplars project aims to produce a number of gold standard records for RDA, as well as a report with recommendations and a return on investment assessment.
Concurrently, QUT Library and the High Performance Computing and Research Support team are working to develop a fully integrated data registry system which automates the collection of data from related University process systems. This will ensure that high quality metadata records describing research datasets can be created.
Source code and software arising from the projects will be displayed here.
