Background

The AusSeabed program outlines 3 program themes, one of which is the development of a “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 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 hub”. At the time of writing, there are two local hubs under development, one at GA and one at CSIRO. 

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance regarding the process of standing up a ASB Local Hub, and how to connect a local hub into the GA Local Hub. 

Local Hub Governance Arrangements

A local hub must have the following governance arrangements in place to meet ongoing operational requirements:

  • Binding or non-binding agreement between AusSeabed (as represented by GA) and the local hub that describes partnership arrangements

  • Nominated primary non-technical contact: a person that is responsible for the maintenance of the local hub. That is, someone who is identified as responsible for managing the institutions ongoing operational costs and archival commitments associated with the local hub.

  • Nominated primary and secondary technical contact: a person(s) that is responsible for ensuring that services provided by the local hub are working and operational.

Local Hub Technical Requirements

The Local Hub must provide three services:

  • publication of ISO19115.3 metadata through a catalogue service - nominally GeoNetwork

  • publication of Web Mapping Service and Web Coverage Service according to AusSeabed protocols

  • direct download of Local Hub products through HTTP protocol

The Local Hub must also provide a description of their holdings in an Excel format that can be read by the Exploring For The Future Portal.

GA Local Hub

The GA Local Hub is delivered using a range of cloud based technologies, a delivered using cloud native technologies and
