Great South Coast Digital Strategy /slideshow/great-south-coast-digital-strategy/69705762 presentaiton1december2016-161201023429
The presentation was made to the Regional Development Australia Barwon South West Committee on 1 December 2016 at the Otway Estate, Barongarook. The outcomes of the Great South Coast Digital Strategy were presented by Associate Professor Helen Thompson. Helen provided an outline of the study aims, methodology and research outputs. The Great South Coast Digital Strategy Action Plan was then presented. The focus then shifted to a case study for Digital Agriculture. Helen used a variety of examples from the applied research of the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation to explain how information about water, soil, climate and land use could all be brought together to support evidenced based planning and decision making, investment attraction and in the future provide an evidence based to support demonstrate safe and ethical practices. Regardless of the area of regional economic and/or social priority (e.g. food and fibre; new energy; advanced manufacturing etc) new enabling environments for digital advancement will be required (e.g. to support getting IoT data to the cloud, to link it with other relevant data and to tools for business insights and decision support. There is an opportunity for the Barwon South West Regional Development Australia and for regional councils to provide leadership directed towards maximising the adoption of digital technologies in areas of regional opportunity and priority.]]>

These programs are supported through partnerships with organisations including Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), grower groups nationally, the Victorian Government, Water Authorities and Catchment Management Authority and CSIRO. This presentation profiles a number of research initiatives that are associated with these programs.

CeRDI Agriculture Research /slideshow/cerdi-agriculture-research/65568967 cerdiresearchagriculture-160831223751
Over the past ten years, Federation University Australia's Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation (CeRDI) has established a programmatic research program in the area of agriculture. This program is supported through partnerships with organisations including Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), grower groups nationally, the Victorian Government, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and CSIRO. This presentation profiles a number of research initiatives that are associated with that program. CeRDI is able to bring both a production and catchment perspective to agriculture-related research. . Federation University Australia is a member of the Regional Universities Network (RUN), together with the University of New England, Southern Cross University, Southern Queensland University, Central Queensland University and University of the Sunshine Coast. In March 2015 the RUN Precision Agriculture Flagship was launched by the Hon. Barnaby Joyce MP. CeRDI represents Federation University Australia in the RUN Precision Agriculture Flagship. As part of its participation, CeRDI was successful in receiving two PhD scholarships. Chris Bahlo’s research is focused on advancing the management of livestock health using information systems and international standards for data exchange to be able to federate and exchange livestock health and management data from multiple organisations as well as disparate sensor technologies and proprietary systems using appropriate web-based technologies. Thomas Hill’s research is focused on the role that legacy data plays in farm decision-making and the adoption of best practice, and seeks to build greater insight into the nature and availability of agricultural legacy data, as well as the barriers and enablers for the sharing of legacy data and information. ]]>

Helen Thompson, Peter Dahlhaus & Andrew MacLeod Federation University Australia, Ballarat, Victoria In this age of ‘big data’ virtually every field of research and practice is being redefined. Governments are adopting open data policies with the aim of delivering efficiency benefits, increasing evidence based planning, enhancing productivity and innovation. Inescapable discussions around big data and analytics are partly in response to an increased availability of next generation broadband and mobile technologies which have created a society that is spatially enabled and aware. Big business and citizens increasingly expect to be able to access past and current information about any location to find answers to their spatial queries. Opportunities are emerging for regional communities to take initiative and eradicate information silos which may have hindered regional collaboration and innovation. In parallel with assisting regions to embrace big data and foster data sharing a range of research questions arise: 1. What are the best methods to provide access to big and complex data, to assist decision makers? 2. How can digital technologies be used to enhance, rather than repeat, past research? 3. Can qualitative data be used to improve the accuracy of quantitative data or metadata? 4. How can we harness Citizen Science and include crowd-sourced data, while minimising subjective bias and maintaining accuracy? Interoperable spatial knowledge systems with dynamic modelling and visualisation capabilities have been developed in response to these research challenges. Examples are provided of systems developed in a variety of fields including groundwater research, catchment management, and strategic planning for bushfire. ]]>
