DART Project

Dataset Acquisition, Accessibility and Annotation e-Research Technologies (DART) Project

The DART project was completed between 2006 and 2007, and was funded by the Australian Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training. The funding was provided through the Systemic Infrastructure Initiative (SII) as part of the Commonwealth Government's Backing Australia's Ability - An Innovation Action Plan for the Future. The specific objectives of the DART project were:

• To support and enable researchers, end-users, and appropriate computer systems to manage the creation and collection of data and to gain greater access to data and documents,
• Gather, manage and archive data and documents and access rights,
• Ensure that researchers could more easily perform their work and do so at a much higher level of insight and productivity than was previously possible, and
• To ensure that the Australian public has greater visibility of, and access to, publicly funded research.
