    Shaping the context for an integrated knowledge hub for the dairy and grains industry project: managing knowledge in the public sphere – ‘lessons learned’
    JONES, MICHAEL ; MCCARTHY, GAVAN ( 2011)
    In 2011, the Victorian Department of Primary Industries (DPI) undertook a “proof of concept” project related to the design and development of two integrated knowledge hubs for the dairy and grains industry sectors. The University of Melbourne’s eScholarship Research Centre (ESRC) was engaged to provide advice on how structured online knowledge could contribute to the provision of persistent, authoritative information to farmers and industry service providers. For more than 25 years, the ESRC and its predecessors have operated as both academic centres and focal points for infrastructure design, testing and deployment. The Centre has been a key collaborator in more than twenty online knowledge resources dating back to the earliest days of the web, all of which remain accessible in some form or another to this day. In delivering this report, ‘Managing Knowledge in the Public Sphere – “Lessons Learned”,’ the authors draw on these experiences to present findings for consideration by DPI.

    Reducing the burden, increasing the impact: enabling the growth of quality-knowledge within the Victorian Community Sector. [Reports 1 and 2]
    VINES, RICHARD ; MCCARTHY, GAVAN ; JONES, MICHAEL ; Kirk, Chris ( 2009 - 2010)
    These reports were prepared for the Office of the Community Sector’s Better Integrated Standards and Quality Assurance Systems (BISQAS) initiative. The core challenges being addressed are the problems of regulatory burdens arising from multiple quality standards. Five community sector quality standards (encompassing the Family Service and Out of Home Care, Disabilities, Housing, Home and Community Care, and Family Relationship Services Program sectors were mapped against each other. The reports identify opportunities and constraints if information and communication technologies were to be used toreduce regulatory burden through enhanced efficiencies associated with publishing quality standards and managing evidence files across multiple funded programs.The second report outlines how information and communication technologies can be used by divergent stakeholders to achieve the twin objectives of reducing burden and enhancing knowledge capacity.
