 So, before release 15 of Research Data Australia, which went live last April, default search would return research activities, services and parties, as well as research data collections. There were already more than 40,000 ARC and NH and MRC grants that were in the RDA system, so you would often find grants appearing when you did searching. But now that the default search for RDA only returns data collections, we needed to have a separate discovery service for exploring research grants and projects. This is a pilot service because we didn't have enough resources at the time to do thorough user requirements analysis and design. So we have a working service and we hope that you'll give us a lot of feedback and we'll gather that feedback for an improved design next year. The ANS Registry aggregates lists of research grant descriptions that have been provided by funders and it also aggregates lists of project descriptions which have been provided by research institutions and agencies. Currently, we have 45,000 grant descriptions just from the two major funders, ARC and NH and MRC, and we also have 2,000 research project descriptions. The research project descriptions have been supplied as activity records in RIFCS format by our data contributors. They may have been manually entered or they could have been harvested from contributor feeds along with the way we harvest other objects like collections, parties and services. There's a good reason to have both grants and project descriptions for the same study as the information provided by the institution can be more current and may contain more information than the grant description which only has the information that was supplied during the submission process of the award. Also there may be many research projects which are either internally funded or funded by bodies who don't supply grant information to ANS. So that's why we collect grant descriptions from funders and we collect project descriptions from the institutions. So now I'm just going to give you a quick look at what the service looks like. You can see from the main research data homepage, Research Data Australia, there's a grants and projects explore service and on that you will see that your search is restricted only to grants and projects. There's also into browse by the same subject groupings that you will see on the home page. Little bit of information about what the service is and also at the bottom there will be a link to all of the funders who supply grant information to us. And if you follow those links at the bottom you'll get more information about what they have supplied, terms of use for the data, how current it is, those sorts of items of information. A simple search for, for example, protein interactions, notice also you can search within various fields instead of all of the fields, the same as you would on the home page. And there's also the possibility to sort the search results, default is relevancy, there's alphabetic. But you can also sort by the day that the project commenced or completed or by the funding amount for the grant. And you can see here if we look at, say, we can filter the result to projects rather than grants. So those will be the ones supplied by the institutions. And you can see, for example, that first one has been supplied by the University of Adelaide and it's linked to a grant because they have used the grant identifier for their project description. If I go into there you can see that this is the information that they supply. You can see the related data, the data that was output from that study. You can also switch and see the actual grant record, which is what was supplied by the Australian Research Council. But again, because they are linked, you can also, we are also able to see if we go to the ARC, that the ARC's grants have funded this creation of this data set. And returning to the search, you can see you can restrict to grants or projects. You can restrict by, filter by the status, you know, whether it's a finished or it's still active, the field of research subjects categories, the institution that's managing the project or the grant, who funded it. Within those funders there are various funding schemes. You may want to restrict, for example, to studies like discovery projects and exclude things like equipment grants. And also you can filter by the funding amount range, the commencement date and completion date range. So that's enough. I don't want to go on any further because I have little time. So going back to my presentation, I'm going to anticipate this question about why do we bother. We are RDA as a service for discovering research data. It's what we're about. Why do we bother with these descriptions of research activity? And that's because project descriptions provide extra context for the published data sets. The metadata about data sets may not be very complete and you may get more information when you read about the study. Also the vast number of research projects that have been conducted over the past X number of years don't have published data sets, although many of them have produced data that could be useful and reused in other contexts. So this is one way perhaps of discovering research that may have produced data that you could use, although the data itself has not been published. The grant identifier can pull together related data sets and publications. So by publishing grants and assigning a persistent and unique identifier, we have the ability for that to be used in the entire research sector to try and connect together various aspects such as publications and data sets and other outputs. Also the funders of research would like a way to see the research outputs that have been funded by their funding programs. And a side benefit is that before this there was no one-stop shop for Australian research and this could be useful nationally and also internationally because it could be added to global research discovery portals and people will become more aware of what research is going on in Australia. In this climate of increasing collaboration, publications and data sets that result from the same grant could still be deposited in different systems. These together in a national or global service requires that they all use the same grant identifier. Now funders like the ARC and NHMRC have always had their own identification system and grant IDs and they are the ones that have traditionally been used in the acknowledgement sections for example of journal articles to identify the grant but they don't resolve to any information about the grant. So the research sector needs a globally unique identifier which is persistent over time and resolves to a description of the grant and supports linked data queries and we chose the Perl identification system for this. Currently the identifiers resolve to a view page in research data Australia but as funders develop their own online systems it is possible for us for this research grant identifier to actually resolve to a view page in this system and you can see that the way the grant identifier is formed is that always the funder acronym comes before the grant ID. So for example we can redirect grant identifiers of this form to view pages in the ARC's online systems rather than our own. We also have an API and why is that important? There are many systems where access to research grant information is useful. For example an institutional research portal may want to display all the research grants with which a researcher has been associated during their career or all of the research grants their institution has participated in even though they may not be the administering organization. An API allows these systems to interrogate RDA to display this information within their system so they don't have to come to RDA. Also systems that support the submission and description of research data and publications could also use the API to provide lookup and validation for the grant so they don't have to have just a free text box where mistakes can be made. Additionally analysis and reporting systems that want to analyze research funding patterns can also use this API as a source of information. There are two options for connecting data collections to research grants. If your institution supplies project descriptions to RDA with connections to research data outputs for example then if the project description contains the associated grant identifier then that's all what's required and the connection will be made. The other simpler option if you don't supply those project descriptions is just to add the grant identifier to the metadata about the data collection as one does for a publication. Of course if the funder has not supplied grant information to RDA then there will be no per grant identifier. However it would still be very beneficial to include the grant by just selecting the funder from a drop-down list for Australian funders and then just add the grant ideas free text and also possibly a title and description. So this information is useful and perhaps later when the funder does supply us with grant information we'll be able to match the grant ID and connect it to a per grant identifier. So you can see here in a system say a research management system which manages all of the research projects in an institution data collections may be connected to a project but if the project has the grant identifier we can also make a link between the grant and the data collection which is very important for funders who want to see the outputs from their research grants. Just as an example of what happens in institutional systems the following screenshot is from the University of South Australia's data management planning system and you can see here they have a section adding in the funding source and they have a drop-down to select the funder, funding scheme and the identifier and if they use our API in this form then this can be a drop-down to select the scheme and this can be a look-up to type in either text or the ID for it to be validated and make sure and return the actual per grant identifier. But at the moment because they do put this funder number here or sorry the grant identifier here just the NH and MRC one in an NH and MRC one when they're creating RIFCS for us to harvest into our system they can turn that into a per grant identifier because they know who the funder is and the grant ID. Connecting a publication to a grant is already happening in most institutions. The Council of University Libraries has already developed guidelines in conjunction with the NH, MRC and ARC. The tagging open access versions of publications resulting from grants with the per grant identifier and as these research publications are harvested by Trove and is able to harvest that connection from Trove so that we can include publications as well as data collections when viewing a grant in RDA and there's a Trove guide which explains how to do this. Here's an example from the QUT institutional repository when submitting or cataloging a publication they can put in the funding body which again comes from a drop-down list of funders and then type the grant ID and they plan also to use our API to provide a lookup for the grant ID as well rather than have it as free text. Possibility of error. Looking at some example grant views in Research Data Australia there's one from the NH and MRC with researchers that's linked to a party record. You can see the Perl. There are also other examples where you will see related data collections and ones where you will see related publications but unfortunately I've lost the link and I'm running out of time so I won't demonstrate them here but those links that are in the slides if you follow them and see those records. So we're only at the beginning stages of building this service in terms of the content. Currently the grant metadata that's provided to the ARC and NH and MRC includes investigator names but no identifiers. If this was provided for example an ORCID or an LLA party identifier the grant could be linked to information about the researcher that's been provided by their institution and to all of their grants and outputs no matter who the funder was. Also the grant data they provide doesn't include institutional partners in the grant only the single administering institution. So we are continuing our engagement with them to hopefully get more information in the future and we're at the start of a process to expand the registry to include grants from other funders. For example we're currently working with the Department of Environment for them to supply information about their research projects, sorry the research projects they fund for example in the National Environmental Science Program and they will require the resulting data from those research grants to be published and also to be linked to their grants by the institutions who deposit the data. In that way they will be able to see an RDA the outputs from the work that they fund. Most data collection descriptions do not contain the related grant identifiers at the moment. Most research project descriptions that we have in our system do not contain the perl grant identifier and this is where we want to make some progress over the coming years. There's limited coverage in RDA of research grants from funders other than ARC and NH and MRC currently and again we hope this changes and there's limited coverage in RDA of research projects past and present that's been undertaken at Australian research institutions. We only have a very small number at the moment and usually those are ones where the data has been published. So our message from this presentation and our continuing message is that research institutions can now provide us with descriptions of all of their research projects and we would like them to supply as much as possible. More funders will be supplying grant information to RDA. Institutional systems can have a lookup widget for the quick selection and verification of grants and inclusion of the perl grant identifier rather than just free text input and we would like as many people as possible to give us feedback on how we can improve this service. There's a list of references that I've added to the slides which will be made available. Thank you very much and over to you Susanna. Fantastic. Thank you Monica.
