The GRDC Data Catalogue is as useful as the number of datasets that it references. To prepare the catalogue for release, GRDC’s Data Partnerships initiative registered around 700 records with the catalogue.
Now that the GRDC Data Catalogue is publicly accessible, GRDC is encouraging its partners and the general public to use and contribute to the catalogue through further investment in data curation, aggregation and analysis.
The GrainData Fusion investment is designed to leverage the public release of the GRDC Data Catalogue to increase the scope of data assets it references while demonstrating the power of FAIR data to facilitate powerful analyses. This will be achieved through delivering the following Outputs:
1 Curate and standardise existing datasets to ensure they meet FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles, making them suitable for future analysis. Where beneficial, consider aggregating datasets. All datasets are registered with the GRDC Data Catalogue, ensuring their all accessibility and licensing considerations have been made and documented in detail.
2 Analyse the prepared datasets to extract valuable insights that can benefit grain growers. Test hypotheses, identify patterns, and explore trends to deepen understanding and document how the data can be practically utilised.
<span">3 Present the findings from the analysis through reports and actionable recommendations, demonstrating progress towards a 4:1 benefit-cost ratio. Provide a clear path to impact, showing how the insights can be applied to generate tangible benefits for grain growers.
