CeRDI capability in eResearch?
Collaborate with our research, industry and community partners:
To take advantage of the eResearch tools to:
Interoperably integrate data (open data, research data, big data,
sensor data, legacy data, crowdsourced data… any data)
Answer the frequently asked data/information questions
Dynamically generate conceptual and predictive models
Make new discoveries and avoid repeating past research
Measure the impacts on decision making and facilitate practice
change
Third party e.g. ABARE, ABS, BOM, CSIRO, EPAs, Unis, ………State base mapping, etc. Water agencies, research organisations, industry, individuals, etc.
End users, e.g. Browser, mobile application, desktop application, groundwater model, etc. Used by: researcher, community group, farmer, environmentalist, media outlet, agribusiness, etc.
Output as: web services (W3C, OGC
compliant)
Input as: Data, map layers, grids, text
and imagery in native format (or web services)
