AUSSGRID:The Australian Social Science Data Grid

AUSSGrid的建立将提高学术、政府和私营部门的社会科学家的能力，使其数字化、保存和传播具有国家意义的社会科学数据。AUSSGrid将允许社会科学家更好地协调研究，避免不必要的数据收集重复，并使研究人员最大限度地获得政府资助的研究成果。它将创建一个资源库，使社会科学能够利用新兴的网格技术。这些发展将对如何设计、进行和传播研究产生影响，并在政府管理和政策制定中得到重大应用。

The establishment of AUSSGrid will enhance the ability of social scientists in academic, government and private sectors, to digitise, preserve and disseminate social science data holdings of national significance. AUSSGrid will allow social scientists to better co-ordinate research, avoid unnecessary duplication of data collection, and maximise researcher access to the products of government funded research. It will create a resource base that will enable the social sciences to take advantage of emerging grid technologies. These developments will have implications for how research is devised, conducted and disseminated, with major applications in government administration and policy-making.
