The AusSeabed program outlines 3 program themes, one of which is the development of a “data hub”“Data Hub”.
Geoscience Australia (GA) is the lead organisation of the data hub program theme, and this is a primarily infrastructure/systems focused theme.
The data hub Data Hub is being developed as a multi-component suite of services that are underpinned by a federated data storage model, with each connected data store being referred to as a “local “contributing hub”. At the time of writing, there are two local contributing hubs under development, one at GA and one at CSIRO.
