The Australian Research Data Commons

What is the ARDC?
A transformational initiative that
enables the Australian research
community and industry to access
nationally significant, leading edge
data intensive eInfrastructure,
platforms, skills and collections of
high-quality data.
[It will become] a coherent
research environment to enable
researchers to find, access,
contribute to and effectively use
services to maximise research
quality and impact.
Who is the ARDC?
The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) is a company
limited by guarantee, that was formed on 30 May 2019.
Chose a membership based structure for the legal entity.
The ARDC brings together three legacy initiatives:
• Australian National Data Service (ANDS)
• National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources (Nectar)
• Research Data Services (RDS)
The organisation is not the thing
“The ARDC is not the
Australian Research
Data Commons”
Rosie Hicks, ARDC Chief Information Officer
So who is the sector?
Note that this is my interpretation of how stakeholders map together
ARDC governance
DDeRP
ARDC
the Commons
ARDC as legal entity is new. It is
governed by a Board of Directors.
DDeRP was envisaged in the 2016
research infrastructure roadmap but
no formal governance was specified.
ARDC has “Coordination & coherence”
as capstone of its mission.
Will first need to promote shared
strategy and coordination amongst
DDeRP, then generate sector-wide
definition of the Commons.
Key differences in Australian context
• Smaller, though not geographically
• Directly funded organisations, not multiple projects
• NCRIS programme and research infrastructure roadmap
has strongly encouraged collaboration
• ARDC [the organisation] has distributed funding to sector.
Plan to become strategic partners, not funders in future.
Mandatory 1:1 co-investment.
• Unis & CSIRO play key role in operating infrastructure
So what can we learn from Australia?

Challenge of remit without authority…
ARDC holds the overall remit for bringing the Commons into
existence but doesn’t have an official mandate to coordinate
DDeRP. Leads to lack of clarity as to who is responsible for what
and some competing services emerging.
EOSC EB/GB have remit to govern but ultimately have no say
over H2020 project remits. Danger that conflicting priorities and
viewpoints could undermine ability to coordinate Commons.
Recommendation:
The Executive Board should consult with the major INFRAEOSC
projects (EOSCsecretariat, FAIRsFAIR, EOSC-Enhance etc) to
ensure commonality in vision, approach and timelines.
Need for stakeholder engagement
ARDC engagement strategy includes:
• Staff in each State as liaison points
• Summits to define priorities and work programme
• Ongoing consultation
Interact
Recommendation:
The activities within EOSCsecretariat WP3 (Stakeholder
coordination) and WP7 (Stakeholder forum and events)
should liaise with EOSC Working Groups to ensure a fruitful
connection between the governance structure and all
stakeholder communities.
Institutional & disciplinary commons
CSIRO Managed Data Ecosystem (MDE) is akin to a Commons
Agricultural Research Federation
AgReFed community defined minimum qualifying thresholds,
based on FAIR, for data to be accepted into the network.
Petascale Campus Initiative at Melbourne
• University wide initiative led by academics
• Employing ‘data stewards’ to work across discipline and
central services. Aim to ‘uplift’ skills by placing stewards in
Schools/projects temporarily.
• Staff have an ‘Academic Specialist’ grading. On academic
scale but without same pressure to publish. Key step
forward to supporting and recognising RDM career paths.
Lesson
Lots can be learned from parallel initiatives in
universities, disciplines and bodies such as CSIRO.
Ensure broad stakeholder representation to learn
from all groups.
Difficult questions I was asked
Image Emily Morter https://unsplash.com/photos/8xAA0f9yQnE
Why should people get involved?
What are the benefits of EOSC for each group?
Why would they want to offer services or use EOSC
instead of what they do already?
Recommendation:
Don’t assume that EOSC has an automatic audience. Ensure research
requirements are at the centre and that the services meet user needs. The
Executive Board should review the value propositions being developed by the
EOSCsecretariat project to engage each stakeholder group.
What do you do if someone pulls out?
What contingency plans are in place if a key service
provider or country withdraws?
Recommendation:
Ensure Rules of Participation are sufficiently open so multiple options
are available and one service provider doesn’t have monopoly.
How will you achieve basic principles?
“Underlying infrastructure needs to be developed,
owned and operated publicly”
Case of Nectar research cloud
2009-10
8 state-based computing
nodes funded to
develop Nectar Cloud.
Aim to leverage existing
capability.
2012-18
Changes in governance and uni
leadership.  eRSA closed.
Intersect became commercial.
Others nodes left network.
All insisted on own branded portals
and since hardware was increasingly
refreshed on University budgets,
90% now perceived as self-owned.
2019
ARDC investing in a
capital refresh.
Avoid falling into same
trap again. Now buying
access to compute and
storage not buying
compute and storage
Lessons from Nectar experience
Balancing sustainable investment
with community ownership and
governance are tough nuts to crack.
My take homes
Image Frame Harirak https://unsplash.com/photos/2oBDlim9r98
EOSC governance is strong!
We can learn from other sectors
Disciplinary / institutional commons e.g. CSIRO & AgReFed, as
well as national or regional initiatives like ARDC
Elinor Ostrom’s principles for managing Commons
Defined Principles for how common resources –
forests, fisheries, oil fields and meadows – can be
managed successfully by the people who use them,
rather than by governments or private companies
https://www.onthecommons.org/magazine/elinor-
ostroms-8-principles-managing-commmons
Three under-represented groups
• Researchers
• Institutions
• International community
Recommendation:
The EOSCsecretariat project should share concrete plans for stakeholder
engagement and dissemination with the Executive Board so it can ensure
balanced representation across EOSC communities and targeted events to
address under-represented groups such as researchers and institutions.
Let’s level the playing field!
Current EOSC Working
Group representation
Diversity matters!
Thanks for listening!

Reflections on EOSC through the mirror of ARDC

  • 1. Reflections on EOSC through the mirror of ARDC Sarah Jones sarah.jones@glasgow.ac.uk Twitter: @sjDCC
  • 2. The Australian Research Data Commons Image Ondrej Machart https://unsplash.com/photos/WEtXkeIlMoM
  • 3. What is the ARDC? A transformational initiative that enables the Australian research community and industry to access nationally significant, leading edge data intensive eInfrastructure, platforms, skills and collections of high-quality data. [It will become] a coherent research environment to enable researchers to find, access, contribute to and effectively use services to maximise research quality and impact.
  • 4. Who is the ARDC? The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) is a company limited by guarantee, that was formed on 30 May 2019. Chose a membership based structure for the legal entity. The ARDC brings together three legacy initiatives: • Australian National Data Service (ANDS) • National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources (Nectar) • Research Data Services (RDS)
  • 5. The organisation is not the thing “The ARDC is not the Australian Research Data Commons” Rosie Hicks, ARDC Chief Information Officer
  • 6. So who is the sector? Note that this is my interpretation of how stakeholders map together
  • 7. ARDC governance DDeRP ARDC the Commons ARDC as legal entity is new. It is governed by a Board of Directors. DDeRP was envisaged in the 2016 research infrastructure roadmap but no formal governance was specified. ARDC has “Coordination & coherence” as capstone of its mission. Will first need to promote shared strategy and coordination amongst DDeRP, then generate sector-wide definition of the Commons.
  • 8. Key differences in Australian context • Smaller, though not geographically • Directly funded organisations, not multiple projects • NCRIS programme and research infrastructure roadmap has strongly encouraged collaboration • ARDC [the organisation] has distributed funding to sector. Plan to become strategic partners, not funders in future. Mandatory 1:1 co-investment. • Unis & CSIRO play key role in operating infrastructure
  • 9. So what can we learn from Australia? Image Mads Schmidt Rasmussen https://unsplash.com/photos/PByvSytCs6Y
  • 10. Challenge of remit without authority… ARDC holds the overall remit for bringing the Commons into existence but doesn’t have an official mandate to coordinate DDeRP. Leads to lack of clarity as to who is responsible for what and some competing services emerging. EOSC EB/GB have remit to govern but ultimately have no say over H2020 project remits. Danger that conflicting priorities and viewpoints could undermine ability to coordinate Commons. Recommendation: The Executive Board should consult with the major INFRAEOSC projects (EOSCsecretariat, FAIRsFAIR, EOSC-Enhance etc) to ensure commonality in vision, approach and timelines.
  • 11. Need for stakeholder engagement ARDC engagement strategy includes: • Staff in each State as liaison points • Summits to define priorities and work programme • Ongoing consultation Interact Recommendation: The activities within EOSCsecretariat WP3 (Stakeholder coordination) and WP7 (Stakeholder forum and events) should liaise with EOSC Working Groups to ensure a fruitful connection between the governance structure and all stakeholder communities.
  • 12. Institutional & disciplinary commons CSIRO Managed Data Ecosystem (MDE) is akin to a Commons
  • 13. Agricultural Research Federation AgReFed community defined minimum qualifying thresholds, based on FAIR, for data to be accepted into the network.
  • 14. Petascale Campus Initiative at Melbourne • University wide initiative led by academics • Employing ‘data stewards’ to work across discipline and central services. Aim to ‘uplift’ skills by placing stewards in Schools/projects temporarily. • Staff have an ‘Academic Specialist’ grading. On academic scale but without same pressure to publish. Key step forward to supporting and recognising RDM career paths.
  • 15. Lesson Lots can be learned from parallel initiatives in universities, disciplines and bodies such as CSIRO. Ensure broad stakeholder representation to learn from all groups.
  • 16. Difficult questions I was asked Image Emily Morter https://unsplash.com/photos/8xAA0f9yQnE
  • 17. Why should people get involved? What are the benefits of EOSC for each group? Why would they want to offer services or use EOSC instead of what they do already? Recommendation: Don’t assume that EOSC has an automatic audience. Ensure research requirements are at the centre and that the services meet user needs. The Executive Board should review the value propositions being developed by the EOSCsecretariat project to engage each stakeholder group.
  • 18. What do you do if someone pulls out? What contingency plans are in place if a key service provider or country withdraws? Recommendation: Ensure Rules of Participation are sufficiently open so multiple options are available and one service provider doesn’t have monopoly.
  • 19. How will you achieve basic principles? “Underlying infrastructure needs to be developed, owned and operated publicly” Case of Nectar research cloud 2009-10 8 state-based computing nodes funded to develop Nectar Cloud. Aim to leverage existing capability. 2012-18 Changes in governance and uni leadership.  eRSA closed. Intersect became commercial. Others nodes left network. All insisted on own branded portals and since hardware was increasingly refreshed on University budgets, 90% now perceived as self-owned. 2019 ARDC investing in a capital refresh. Avoid falling into same trap again. Now buying access to compute and storage not buying compute and storage
  • 20. Lessons from Nectar experience Balancing sustainable investment with community ownership and governance are tough nuts to crack.

  • 23. We can learn from other sectors Disciplinary / institutional commons e.g. CSIRO & AgReFed, as well as national or regional initiatives like ARDC Elinor Ostrom’s principles for managing Commons Defined Principles for how common resources – forests, fisheries, oil fields and meadows – can be managed successfully by the people who use them, rather than by governments or private companies https://www.onthecommons.org/magazine/elinor- ostroms-8-principles-managing-commmons
  • 24. Three under-represented groups • Researchers • Institutions • International community Recommendation: The EOSCsecretariat project should share concrete plans for stakeholder engagement and dissemination with the Executive Board so it can ensure balanced representation across EOSC communities and targeted events to address under-represented groups such as researchers and institutions.
  • 25. Let’s level the playing field! Current EOSC Working Group representation Diversity matters!
