      Where to next for DUD:
  • Which of this week's activities will continue?
    1. eResearch Australasia 2021
      1. Governance concerns - Anu, Kheeran & Simon report to eRA
      2. Implementation - Tech grid - Nick? report to eRA
      3. Trust … Shawn & Steve report to eRA
    2. Topics from this week
      1. Munsell - will be built! RIT involved in governance (Shawn leading)
      2. Place names will continue within the ARDC HASS program (Len, Sandra and Steve) ARDC-led
        • Link to ARDC Geospatial COP?
        • Exploring MoU with ICSM and ARDC
        • Explore other infrastructures as well as RVA
    3. New topic of interest (have been recognised as needed to be done by Big Brother Dagstuhl (as opposed to DUD)):
      1. Different approaches to reusing, extending or subsetting - another 'template', or set of 'rules' or 'concerns' -
        • Who: Simon, Rowan, Nick, Edmond, Sandra, Susan, Mark - to investigate a starting point
        • Where: To be determined.
      2. Vocabulary creation ?


  • Meet again in a year's time?
    1. Should it be a week-long activity again?
      1. Yes if possible
    2. Virtual or F-2-F or Hybrid (a mix of both)
      1. Allow blocks of time to work on stuff raised at the meeting - less intense.
      2. I found starting at 10:00 am and finishing at 4:00 helpful
      3. 2 days f2f kick-off and then the rest virtual?
