Commons?</h2> <p>The term “commons” derives from the English idea of land held in common and was popularised in the modern sense as a way of referring to shared resources by the ecologist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrett_Hardin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Garrett Hardin</a> in an influential 1968 article called “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tragedy_of_the_Commons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Tragedy of the Commons</a>“. </p> <p>The Nobel laureate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinor_Ostrom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elinor Ostrom</a> in her book <em>Governing the Commons</em>, revisited this idea and demonstrated instead that there do exist practical algorithms for the collective use of a limited common resource. </p> <p>The idea of the commons has since been taken up outside the domain of economics and applied to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons#Type" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a wide range of domains</a>. More recently it has been applied in the digital domain.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Use a Commons for Research?</h2> <p>A <strong>research data commons</strong> brings together people, skills, data, and related resources such as storage, compute, software, and models into one system. By providing integrated resources and easy-to-use interfaces, it enables researchers to speed up their existing research, and to undertake research that wasn’t possible before.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="823" height="1024" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20823%201024'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="A diagram listing the 6 elements of a research data commons, namely people, skills, data, storage, models and compute" class="wp-image-169854" style="width:500px" data-lazy-srcset="https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-823x1024.png 823w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-241x300.png 241w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-768x956.png 768w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-1234x1536.png 1234w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-1646x2048.png 1646w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc.png 2000w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px" data-lazy-src="https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-823x1024.png" /><noscript><picture><source srcset="https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-823x1024.png 823w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-241x300.png 241w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-768x956.png 768w,https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-1234x1536.webp 1234w,https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-1646x2048.webp 1646w,https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc.webp 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px" type="image/webp"><img src="https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-823x1024.png" height="1024" width="823" srcset="https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-823x1024.png 823w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-241x300.png 241w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-768x956.png 768w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-1234x1536.png 1234w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc-1646x2048.png 1646w, https://ardc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/what-is-rdc.png 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px" class="wp-image-169854 sp-no-webp" alt="A diagram listing the 6 elements of a research data commons, namely people, skills, data, storage, models and compute" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" style="width:500px" > </picture></noscript><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>The components of a research data commons, according to the ARDC</em></figcaption></figure></div> <div id="a4c65165-9c74-4697-8dc7-97ee5d" class="wp-block-mmd-grid-block mmdl-block grid-block mmdl-bg-white"><div class="container max-w-1280 mx-auto"><div class="mmdl-feature"><div class="mmdl-feature--intro"><h2 class="">Functions of a Research Data Commons</h2><p class="">Research data commons can be used in numerous ways by the research community, industry and government.
