HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons co-design framework

This is the co-design framework for designing the HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons, an initative of the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC).

In collaboration with Indigenous Australians, the research community, industry and government, the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences and Indigenous Research Data Commons (HASS and Indigenous RDC) is harnessing research data to enhance Australian social and cultural wellbeing, and help Australia understand and preserve our culture, history and heritage.

Investment in the HASS and Indigenous RDC will be made based on opportunities identified in partnership with stakeholders in the humanities, arts, social sciences and Indigenous research communities, and the broader groups who contribute to and benefit from that research. We will seek to develop infrastructure that creates the greatest impact for research and researchers by co-designing that infrastructure with the people who will benefit from it.

Our consultation and co-design processes are based on established methods such as the TACSI Co-Design Framework. Development of our co-investment activities will follow the steps of:

1. Problem Identification 
2. Project Shaping
3. Project Planning
4. Endorsement.

The way that each step is implemented will vary depending on the scale, complexity and timeline of the activity.
