We are pleased to announce that Research Data Australia has begun harvesting data collection records from UQ eSpace. Researchers can now describe their data collections in eSpace, and then the harvest makes the data description visible through Research Data Australia.

This allows researchers and research groups to describe their research data according to good practice, in order to aid the discovery, dissemination, and preservation of their research data. This goes some way to champion research datasets as being a first-class research output at UQ.

Data registry re3data.org: registry of research data repositories was launched in December 2012.
