Discovery and Identification

The ADA holdings are findable through the Dataverse interface that includes a search function for indexed DDI metadata and facets for narrowing search results [71]. Searchable metadata includes topic classification using Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC) Field of Research codes [11] and keywords based on controlled vocabularies including the Australian Public Affairs Information Service (APAIS) subject index [12].

Dataverse provides a formal data citation for each data collection that is published. ADA mints Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) for each data collection, a service supported by Datacite [72].

ADA data holdings are also searchable through the Research Data Australia (RDA) service [16] which harvests ADA metadata for their catalogue of research data across Australia.

The ADA is a registered research data repository with Re3Data [14].
