How would this proposal support your research? If this is not done, I fear that the long-term strategic objectives of the HASS RDC will be damaged, and a valuable opportunity to enlarge the scope and impact of HASS research infrastructure will be lost.

The plan should support and enlarge activity outside of the Library, not merely pump funds into current systems.įor these reasons I believe the plan should be rejected and the ARDC should consider alternative strategies for developing an advanced research platform using Trove data. It should work with the ARDC and other research infrastructure providers to develop a community of developers, trainers, and users that expose this data to new research uses. The NLA should focus on the enrichment of its data and the improvement of its public APIs. To meet the objectives of NCRIS and make a positive contribution to capability development within the HASS sector, the scope of this project needs to be radically rethought. The inability of the NLA to address feedback, and think beyond the the boundaries of their initial plan, indicates that they should not be leading this part of the HASS RDC. It simply wants HASS RDC funding to build new Trove interfaces. It has been reluctant to engage with the HASS community, and has provided no evidence that it is interested in long-term community development, or research leadership. Throughout this process, the NLA has refused to acknowledge existing resources, such as the GLAM Workbench. The reuse or integration of external tools is vaguely gestured at, without any commitment to collaboration. The redrafted plan introduces limited consultation, but the overall scope of the project is unchanged. The NLA plan for a Trove Advanced Platform is narrowly focused on the development of the Library’s own systems.

This is reflected in the evaluation criteria for project plans that emphasises ‘maximisation of the use or re-use of existing research infrastructure’, ‘integrated infrastructure layers with other HASS RDC activities’, collaboration, ‘research leadership’, and ‘a demonstrated commitment to ongoing community development’. The current investment in the HASS Research Data Commons is part of a long-term program of capability development across the HASS sector.
