What business are we in? Theodore LeviR, The Changing Character of Capitalism, Harvard Business Review, July–August 1956 “The railroads did not stop growing because the need for passenger and freight transportaEon declined. That grew. The railroads are in trouble today not because that need was filled by others (cars, trucks, airplanes, and even telephones) but because it was not filled by the railroads themselves. They let others take customers away from them because they assumed themselves to be in the railroad business rather than in the transporta6on business.”

Key differenEators for ANDS § NaEonally co-‐ordinated approach § InsEtuEonally-‐focussed engagement
§ “helping them meet their research data ambiEons”
§ Engaging with large naEonally-‐funded discipline investments
§ Bulk of funds spent outside ANDS § All disciplines covered § Focus on adding value to data and re-‐use

ANDS enables the transformaEon of: Data that are: " Unmanaged " Disconnected " Invisible " Single use
To Structured CollecEons that are: " Managed " Connected " Findable " Reusable
so that Australian researchers can easily publish, discover, access and use/re-‐use research data.

Value of data is increased because § It is beRer managed § It is more findable § It is citeable § It is (potenEally) more re-‐usable § InternaEonal data environments are more compaEble with those in Australia
