The ORCA Support Network Wiki
The ORCA Support Network Wiki has been constructed to build knowledge around the following activities:
- Communications forums - the Network is establishing, fostering and maintaining communications forums to increase the connectedness of the stakeholder groups.
- Training - the training agenda focuses on research data management skills.
- Registries - the ORCA Support Network is developing a number of registries of eResearch projects, eResearch experts and eResearch collections. The ORCA Collection Service Registry is a distinct APSR project supported by the ORCA Support Network.
- Consulting - the major nodes offers consultancies in their areas of expertise and extend work already underway informally in their own region or sector. The consultancy expertise is linked with the expertise register.
The Diagram below illustrates the connections between these activities:
Whilst formal outputs for the ORCA support Network can be found at http://www.apsr.edu.au/orca/index.htm#network, the following pages provide an informal vehicle for the ORCA Support Network to communicate its current thinking on the above topics.
