- 32. As Australia’s first university our reputation spans more than 160 years. In 2014, we were ranked in the top 0.3% of universities worldwide. Across 16 Faculties we taught more than 33,000 undergraduate and 19,000 postgraduate students, including 10,800 international students from more than 145 countries. The Australian Federal Government’s Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative rated our research at “above and well above world standard across 21 (of 22) broad discipline areas. These disciplines include earth sciences, agricultural and veterinary sciences, mathematical sciences, engineering, biomedical and clinical health sciences, psychology and cognitive sciences, law and legal studies, language and communication, history and archaeology, and philosophy and religious studies.

With da|ra, GESIS provides access to the data referencing system for social science research data. • Purpose: • Making connections between high-value collections (research datasets) and other scholarly works such as publications and grants discoverable in Europe • Goals: • Research graph that holds the connections between datasets, publications and grant information from European and Australian research institutions • Software service that makes the graph accessible to third party software systems, data repositories and infrastructure providers • Integration of the graph in the ResearchGraph.org website with results accessible using Linked Open Data and JSON-LD • Challenges: • Research an efficient way to link to GRID and organization Graph • Research an efficient way to link to vocabulary Graph • Access to new data sources

One of Australia's original tertiary institutions, RMIT University enjoys an international reputation for excellence in professional and vocational education, applied research, and engagement with the needs of industry and the community. RMIT is a world leader in Art and Design; Architecture; Education; Engineering; Development; Computer Science and Information Systems; Business and Management; and Communication and Media Studies. A pilot project with Research Graph Deliverables: • identification of differences between data derived from Graph and RM. • identification of “important" data that is not in RM that can be derived from the larger Graph. • document opportunities to improve the larger Graph from RMIT University’s data, and vice-versa. Purpose: • compare the data from Graph with data from RMIT University’s Research Master (RM) system. • evaluate the technical aspect, such as: ease of configuration, deployment, usability, etc. • identify the “value add” to existing institutional data through integration with the larger Graph. • prepare the groundwork for a larger project which will deploy Graph into a production environment. Goal: • create a set of RMIT records that contain Researcher, Publication, Research data and Grants models from the Graph schema. These records would include data about a small number of top-performing researchers at RMIT University. RMIT University
