The following changes are now available in Dataplace and the Training environment:

• The latest update introduces the Australian Government Data Catalogue, allowing users to search for open, conditional, or restricted data assets. A new side pop-out feature facilitates easy searching, filtering, and reviewing of a wider range of content, with direct links to open data/metadata sources. Organisation administrators can import data assets into the catalogue, which includes data from data.gov.au, Geoscience Australia, and a selection of Commonwealth government agencies.

• An authorised officer role has been established to improve the accreditation application process.

• The contact us link now includes a complaint form for users to lodge complaints. Signed-in users can also report data breaches using a dedicated form accessible through the same link.

• The Terms of Use has been updated.

  • Individuals have been updated to incorporate supplementary terms applicable to the Australian Government Data Catalogue. This update ensures that individuals and data custodians are informed about the terms that govern its use.

  •  

    Organisations have been updated to include supplementary terms for organisations who provide their metadata for the Australian Government Data Catalogue. This includes additional terms with respect to the submission of accurate and compliant metadata, intellectual property rights and other legal rights.
