Broader environment: strategic alliance + common languages
GLAMs: strategically aligning + using a common language



Broader environment: strategic advantage + cultural change

National Government Information Sharing Strategy
AGIMO | August 2009 | Online
Barriers Exec Summary (p7)
‣lack of leadership
‣absence of clear value proposition
‣IM practices restrict capacity to share
‣privacy/accountability concerns
‣cultural resistance towards sharing

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT
Australian Public Sector Information Management


Report: Towards the Australian Data Commons Blog + eGov website : AGIMO
The Problem of the Lens:

The concept of looking at the ‘data commons’ through a ‘discipline specific lens’ goes directly to the
most fundamental problems in research data management, (p15)

Therefore where broader data sharing is important, research groups, research communities and more
systemic data management activities must pursue one or more of the following options:

- reduce the overall fragmentation by adopting common standards for common data issues,
(including metadata, vocabularies, file format and encodings), raising the base level of interoperability,
or conceptually coalescing the specialist collections wherever possible, essentially allowing each related
‘lens’ to see more data;
- develop interoperation applications on the user side of the lenses (workflows and functions
above the specialist tools), treating the data commons as a source of disparate information to be
processed into more useful associated forms through those applications; and
- create translation or content interoperation solutions between the information layers by using
semantic-mapping and ontology techniques to build smarter lenses, which might be depicted
as tools that bridge several information islands. (p16)

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

Identifying shared beneﬁts
Articulating the strategic alliance
Envisioning this as a community of practice
Consultation and galavanising for action

PRACTICE CHANGE


Ring or email a peer that does the same or similar job
Get permission and set the rules of exchange
Offer to share data/information structures
Discuss the standards available or potential standards
Discuss how these are or could be applied
Invite another peer into the discussion
Consider working together and tell more peers
Share the results of that collaboration with them

Entry level for practice uptake needs to be reasonable

TEAM UP & CHANGE IT UP
