5. Definitions
Anonymisation | Removal of information that might or could identify an individual. Note that self-identification does not constitute identification. |
Centre Agent | Is the party appointed to act as an agent for the members in connection with the operations of the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre. |
Clinical information | Clinical information is information derived from human subjects and includes (but is not excessively) results from medical, physical, biological or psychological assessments, examinations or tests. |
Controlled/restricted access | Access to material, data held on a restricted network. |
CSIRO | Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, ABN 41 687 119 230 |
Data | Data is information that (in this case) has been translated into a digital format (for example, characters and symbols) to allow operations that can be facilitated by a computer. |
Data allocation submission | This is the process that the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre uses to understand the needs of the researcher community and to advise on appropriate data-management approach. |
Data Stores @ Pawsey Supercomputing Centre | The term Data Stores @ Pawsey Supercomputing Centre relates to any piece of infrastructure, which has been purchased on behalf of the |
Pawsey Supercomputing Centre partnership and can be used to store data. No equipment is exempt from this definition, except by prior agreement with the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Board, with the exception of Pawsey Supercomputing Centre branded USB drives. | |
Ethical Consent | Ethical consent is permission provided by a Research Ethics Committee (REC) or similar for researchers to collect and use data within a specific context or manner. Guidance from a REC should be sought by all research staff where appropriate under their institutional policies to ensure appropriate permissions are granted for data collection and use. |
EULA | End User Licence Agreement – this is a document which researchers who are not affiliated with the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Partnership must complete before using the Data Stores @ Pawsey Supercomputing Centre. The EULA will be provided by the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, and is subject to revision without notice. |
Hard Quota | A hard quota is a predetermined level where the data custodian will be unable to ingest further data when an agreed limit has been reached. |
Loss | Includes any claim, loss, damages or other liability howsoever incurred. Without limiting the scope of the previous sentence loss includes loss of production or operation time; loss, damage or corruption of data or records; economic loss; or any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential, punitive or exemplary loss or damages. Loss includes losses that |
CSIRO or the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre may have been advised of the possibility of. | |
Meta Data | Identifying information collected with the data to enable cataloguing and searching. |
Orphaned Data | This is data that has no owner. Orphaned data most often occurs when the curator changes institution without informing the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre/the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Member. The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre requires a Principal Investigator to provide two points of contact before data is accepted. |
Pawsey Supercomputing Centre | The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre means the unincorporated joint venture between CSIRO, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia (each as a Pawsey Supercomputing Centre member). In this document, except where used in the context of a Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Member, references to the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre are to the management arrangements established by the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Members with CSIRO as the centre agent. |
Petabyte Data Store
Petabyte Store (or PB Store) is the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre’s Petascale Data Storage Facility. This is also known as “Cortex”.
Principal Investigator | Is the lead person for a particular research project. |
Researcher | An individual to whom the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre grants access to the Data Stores @ Pawsey Supercomputing Centre for the |
purpose of a project that has been proposed. They include personnel from both Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Members and non-Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Members as applicable. | |
Soft Quota | A soft quota is a predetermined level where the data custodian will be contacted to advise a limit has been reached. |
