NeCTAR Project National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources Australian government funding programme (part of SuperScience initiative): A$47 million ( ) Programmes:  Virtual Laboratories (5)  Research Cloud (4)  eResearch Tools (15)  National Servers (2)

Virtual Laboratories (Stage 1) The Genomics Virtual Laboratory (GVL) (lead: University of Queensland) Climate and Weather Science Laboratory (lead: Bureau of Meteorology) The Characterisation Virtual Laboratory: Research Environments for Exploring Inner Space (lead: Monash University) The All-Sky Virtual Observatory (lead: Astronomy Australia Ltd) Humanities Networked Infrastructure (HuNI): Unlocking and Uniting Australia's Cultural Data (lead: Deakin University)

Virtual Laboratories: What are they? NeCTAR criteria Cross-institutional Cross-disciplinary Integration of existing data Integration of existing tools Data-centred workflows Collaboration HuNI responses Multiple institutions (13 partners) All humanities disciplines Cultural datasets pooled as Linked Data Existing tools adapted to work with Linked Data Linked Data + tools Collaborative tools
