 Hi, my name's Gerry Ryder and I'm a Data Management Specialist with the CSIRO in Adelaide. Over the past couple of years we've been developing the Research Data Service. This service has been developed through the teams in libraries, IT and with input from a number of researchers. It's both a suite of technology tools as well as a support service to assist researchers to make the most of those tools. One of the primary tools that we've developed is the Data Access Portal. This has been developed progressively over the last couple of years. Starting with some funding from ANS we started to build some basic capability that would allow researchers to describe and publish their data. Since that time we've built on to the Data Access Portal functionality and progressively in sort of building block fashion enhance the capability so that we now have some automated features such as assigning DOIs to data and scheduled automated deposit of data. So it's been a progressive, evolving process to develop the Data Access Portal. In order to make all of this work we've had to develop some really strong partnerships and we've done this both within the CSIRO and externally. Importantly we've had to foster really good relationships between library and IT staff involving in IT not just software developers but people working in the data storage area for instance. We've also of course had strong partnerships with ANS who've not only funded some of the work that we've done but have also been an important source of information, support and advice and for building connections with others working in similar areas.
