Abstract

This presentation will look at the development of the Dataset Acquisition, Accessibility and Annotation e-Research Technologies (DART) project. This is a proof-of-concept collaboration space, designed to support the entire e-Research lifecycle. The presentation will look at the motivation behind DART, its achievements, and its transition into the ARCHER project. The presentation will also look at the relationship between collaboration environments and institutional publishing environments, based on the Monash experience with the ARROW and DART projects.
