Dr. Ross Wilkinson
Executive Director, Australian National Data Service
Dr. Ross Wilkinson is the Executive Director of the Australian National Data Service, dedicated to enabling more researchers re-use data more often. His research career commenced
with his Ph.D. in mathematics at Monash University before researching in computer science at La Trobe University, R.M.I.T. and at CSIRO. Some of his areas of research have been document retrieval effectiveness, structured documents retrieval, and most recently
on technologies that support people to interact with their information environments. He has published over 90 research papers, has served on many program committees and was a program co-chair for both SIGIR’96 and SIGIR’98. He is now leading the Australian
National Data Service creating tools, information, frameworks and the skills to enable Australia’s researchers to more effectively use and re-use research data, wherever it comes from.

Opportunities and challenges in long term preservation of research data
Abstract:
There are significant changes in the research data environment, enabling innovation in research approaches. Consequently the challenges for preserving research data are growing
as the use of research data is much wider, and the nature of research data changes. Imagine creating a preserved research data environment for hydrological research in the interior of Australia: it needs sensor data, historical water records, data from quite
different fields that will be put to new uses - species counts, flux tower observations. The value of this new data environment is immense, as are the challenges of preserving it for a wide range of purposes.
This talk will examine the opportunities and challenges of preserving research data in an Australian context, and some of the initiatives that are underway in Australia that
makes these challenges pressing
