Data Management Goal
Establish infrastructure to support metadata management
to advance sciences within the data-intensive HPC
environment.
NCI is working towards to be a trusted digital repository.

A cluster of GeoNetwork nodes
• External GeoNetwork node:
https://geonetwork.nci.org.au
Feed for external harvesters and aggregators
• Internal GeoNetwork nodes:
https://geonetwork<proj_code>.nci.org.au
Staging nodes from external sources, or user’s
self-managed nodes

System configuration
GeoNetwork is configured using NCI’s devops
framework. The Puppet scripts help to build a
cluster of GeoNetwork nodes on NCI’s cloud.
Database of each GeoNetwork node is
backed-up so that it can be recovered within
minutes.
