Q3 2018

RDA relationship graph visualisation

• Within the record view page, RDA users will start to see a visual presentation of a record's relationships through the new relationship graph. Each node on the graph will provide users with some basic information about the related entity and will allow them to easily navigate to a linked page (e.g ORCID page, RDA page, etc.), as applicable. If no related object exists for that record, the graph will be hidden from view.

IGSN Service 

• Enhancements to the IGSN service to support evolving Geoscience community requirements

DOI Service maintenance

• Integration of DataCite DOI Fabrica API into the ARDC DOI Service

• Implement a process to allow clients to transfer ownership (hosting and management) of all or selected DOIs to another ARDC client or even to another allocating agent outside of the ARDC

RVA subscription feature

• Implement a subscription feature that will allow RVA users to receive notifications for changes to RVA content and functionality

Q4 2018

Research Data Australia enhancements

• Optimisation of relationship graph indexing and queries

• Integration of external content into relationship graph

• Alpha testing of NHRMC - ARDC Grant Information Linkage Pilot

• Enhancements to Research Activity API to support NHRMC - ARDC Grant Information Linkage Pilot

• OAI-PMH service optimisation

DOI Service accounts consolidation

• Consolidation of DOI client accounts at DataCite which will allow administrators to manage a client’s Test and Production accounts under a single client account. Each account will contain two App IDs with separate shared secrets while all domains and IP addresses from the Test and Production accounts will be combined in the new account format. 

IGSN enhancement

• Enhancements to the IGSN service to support evolving Geoscience community requirements.

Research Vocabularies Australia

• Enhancements to the concept browse tree visualisation in the RVA portal.
