Program
The Challenge
Agricultural research data in Australia is currently difficult to find and share. Publicly available datasets, such as remote sensed vegetation data, and compute facilities are also not easily accessible by all researchers.
The Response
The Agricultural Research Federation (AgReFed) Platform project has improved the discoverability of trusted, reusable and analysis-ready agricultural research data across Australia, supporting collaboration and novel insights in research, development and policy.
It has done this through analysis of key use cases to establish the needs of the community, and the subsequent expansion and enhancement of the current AgReFed platform.
The project involved the following elements:
Enhanced AgReFed Platform
Works will enhance the current AgReFed Platform to include the ability to search and discover trusted, reusable agriculture-related datasets, workflows and models.
FAIRifed platform metadata
Enhance platform’s metadata to improve FAIRness. Data sets will be easier to find, access and use across the sector.
Improved governance for AgReFed
Appropriate governance and consultation/advisory structures helps to meet sector needs through the platform build.
The Outcomes
Access the enhanced AgReFed Platform.
AgReFed enables researchers to search and discover trusted, reusable agriculture-related datasets, workflows and models. This will facilitate data reuse and cross-discipline collaborations for novel research insights and practical applications in policy, reporting and on-ground decision making.
Who Will Benefit
Researchers across disciplines who use a number of agricultural online services, local and federal government, research organisations and farmers’ organisations will benefit from the project’s core features:
