The first of the ANDS Applications Projects Community
Days saw 27 participants (mostly Project Managers and Lead Developers)
representing 18 Apps projects from 15 institutions come together in Sydney on
the 29/30 March 2012 to present their projects, discuss a variety of issues,
and learn about ANDS and how it can help them achieve research data outcomes.
The event revealed a number of unexpected connections between projects at the
level of outputs, tools, and data sets. For example, there is potential for
some of the Climate Change Adaptation projects to reuse image-viewing
technology developed in the medical domain, or usage of the same spatial data
sets across multiple projects.
Over the course of the event, participants saw how
they can draw on each other’s expertise, and many conversations that started
during the day have continued beyond the end of the event.
Feedback from participants has been very positive, and
we’re looking forward to working with them to help them bring data together to
answer new and bigger questions.
