 Capabilities for a national supply chain of environmental information

The environmental data and analytics landscape is complex and fragmented. Many organisations are involved in the creation, curation, integration and analysis of environmental data and information.
The Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute (WABSI), the Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI) and the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), along with several partners, including the Australian Government, are working on initiatives which need to be integrated and interoperable across multiple domains, organisations and data holdings. To succeed, they require a common view of all elements of the environmental data and analytics landscape.
The updated Shared Analytic Framework for the Environment (SAFE 2.0) presented in this document provides a common vocabulary to show how the many components of the environmental data landscape work together. It will help understand how the components might best work together to deliver specific reporting and analysis needs; to understand areas where further development is needed; and help identify what is required to deliver a a national supply chain of environmental information.
The framework is intended to:
- facilitate a consistent view of the required capabilities and their interdependencies across varied stakeholders
- develop an organisational, maturity and investment view tailored to specific needs
- individual projects determine the capabilities that they need; and
- align effort, reduce fragmentation, and prioritise investment across the capabilities that support information supply chains.
The framework is intended to be used by:
- individuals: to understand the complexity of the environmental data and analytics landscape
- institutions: to better understand institutional contributions to the national supply chain of environmental information, as well as dependencies between such institutions and their capabilities; and
- funding bodies: to promote a consistent, coherent view of a complex landscape, better enabling the mapping of maturity and the planning of investment.
