Help co-design a new national service to publish HASS and Indigenous data collections as websites.

About the Event

The ARDC Community Data Lab (CDL) provides tools, datasets, analysis environments and collaboration options for humanities, arts, social sciences, and Indigenous research in Australia. As CDL enters its second phase, it will focus on co-designing 5 new capabilities to support research and research translation.

The ARDC invites you to a workshop to co-design one of these capabilities: A national service to publish enduring HASS and Indigenous data collections as websites via a sustainable model that aligns with the FAIR Principles.

The goal of the co-design workshop is to evaluate this co-investment opportunity to help develop a solution that supports new and expanded research.

Value of Capability to HASS and Indigenous Research

A common requirement for HASS and Indigenous research is the ability to make digital cultural collections available online. Bespoke solutions are frequently short-lived due to maintenance demands. This makes it challenging for researchers to process, publish and maintain enduring collections of research consistent with FAIR principles. A national service will enable researchers to publish websites with their research archives and collections.

What to Expect During the Workshop

Workshop participants are invited to actively engage in discussions. During the workshop, participants will be introduced to the problem to be addressed, along with the capability that we are proposing to develop as a solution to this problem for HASS and Indigenous research.

The workshop will be held virtually via Zoom. Participants will join breakout rooms and respond to questions using a Miro board. Our goal is to gather feedback on the value of the proposed solution and to assess whether we’re addressing the problem in the most effective way.

The proposed solution has been developed by ARDC in partnership with Sydney Informatics Hub, University of Sydney.

After the workshop we will publish a report that captures the input that we have received. Your insights will help us refine our approach, ensuring that we are on the right track.

If you have difficulty accessing Zoom or Miro please let us know ahead of the workshop and we will provide alternative methods for you to provide your feedback.

Who will be speaking?

• Ellen Lyrtzis, Skills Development Lead (NCRIS), ARDC
• Michael Lynch, Research Engineer Group Lead, Sydney Informatics Hub, The University of Sydney

Who should attend?

• HASS researchers who need to create a website to publish their data and document their workflows and/or tools (e.g. as an output of a project)
• Researchers who are interested in discovering data, tools and guides that may support their HASS and Indigenous research workflows
• People who support researchers in their use of digital research infrastructure (including research infrastructure providers and digital skills trainers)

What participants will gain from the session?

• Contribute your use cases and experience about the capability
• Discuss the capability and the challenges it addresses with your peers
• Help shape how the capability will be delivered for HASS & I researchers
