Future Direction
This site will progressively store more metadata sets with the aim of providing the metadata for all national strategic transportation data sets endorsed by the Australian Transport Council (ATC). The Australian Transportation Data Action Network (ATDAN) will be responsible for the further development and maintenance of this site.
ATDAN
ATDAN was created in September 2009 for the purpose of implementing the ATC's Data Action Plan . ATDAN reports to the Network Performance Standing Sub-Committee (NPSSC) and meets at least twice yearly. The group is chaired by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and comprises representatives from the NPSSC, Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government (DITRDLG), National Transport Council (NTC) and jurisdictional transport agencies.
ATDAN provides advice to the Standing Committee on Transport (SCOT) and ATC decisions regarding strategic transportation data issues. The group also undertakes projects to improve transportation data collection, and develops and promotes the use of metadata standards and frameworks.
