|---|
What is the most effective approach to data analysis that would allow most new knowledge and value to be created from existing environmental data sets? Proposed research should demonstrate novel ways to productively use environmental data and could:
- improve existing databases and portals through updating, revising, and rationalisation to increase integration across heterogeneous data resources
- provide and optimise open access and use of existing data and databases to a broad community of interest - to analyse, visualise, summarise and download data
- provide robust and novel ways to use and store data, including for example mapping and GIS front-ends to data
- lower transaction costs to access and use of data (eg through standards, automation, and opportunities that emerge from developing representativeness)
- increase open data use and availability.
$0.5 million per annum for two years – in exceptional cases a proposal may be funded for up to four years.
