AGIA 2013 GEOSCIENCE INFORMATION SEMINAR: CAN YOU TRUST YOUR DATA? PART 2
Following on from the last edition of the newsletter, below is a summary of the
presentations given by geoscience information colleagues from Chevron Australia.
Thank you to AGIA Vice President Jenny Mikucki for organising the necessary
clearances so AGIA can bring you these presentations – those working in industry
will be aware this is no small task!
CHEVRON AUSTRALIA’S SUBSURFACE DATA MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Jenny Mikucki (Presenter): Manager, Upstream Technical Computing, Information
Systems, Chevron Australia
Ian Kemp: Project Engineer, Asset Development, Chevron Australia
Until recently, Chevron Australia’s
subsurface data management maturity was
quite low, and many of the systems had
grown organically. Departments purchased
software and applications without central
co-ordination. Silos had developed and
there was duplication and inefficiency. In
2009, Chevron Australia set about
developing a Subsurface Data Management
Strategy to transform the tangle of
databases into a structured system to
deliver data which was readily accessible,
trusted, well-preserved and standardised.
Chevron allocated a significant budget to
achieve these outcomes over a three year
period commencing 2011. Chevron estimated
that the value of the data it held was many times more than that allocated to the
implementation of the data management strategy; in relative terms it was a
relatively small investment to ensure Chevron’s data is protected and leveraged
efficiently.
There are five components to Chevron’s Subsurface Data Management Strategy:
1. Data governance
2. Permissions management
3. Architecture
4. Organisational capability
5. Subsurface data solutions
Chevron has developed a repository known as the Trusted Source, which houses
the highest quality data. A System of Record was developed for each data type -
when improved data arrives it is automatically synced to the Trusted Source
(subject to authorisation controls). A Technical Close-Out document is used to
record which datasets have been used to reach decisions.
There are more than 30 people working on the Subsurface Data Management
Strategy directly. The five projects within the Strategy are run in phases, so each
project is at a different level of maturity at any given time. The five project areas
in order of implementation are:
1. Well Foundation

2. Document Management
3. Reservoir Fluid Properties
4. Subsurface Interpretation
5. Logs & Models
Jenny outlined a number of key wins which emerged from the projects. Data is
now clearly owned by the customer (data users) – previously there had been a
misconception that the IT division were the data owners. There was a great deal
of leadership support for the Strategy which came from a very high level within
Chevron Australia, and this was crucial for funding the project and encouraging
subsurface data stakeholders to accept changes to data management architecture
and practices. The Strategy focused on data solutions and team co-location has
created new connections between data professionals. The formal project
management structure created a strong framework for the development of a
comprehensive strategy, and this has been fed back to Chevron’s head office in
the USA. Elements of the Strategy are now being applied to all data within the
company world-wide – not just subsurface data in Australia. The investment in
Chevron’s data assets via the Subsurface Data Management Strategy has already
yielded excellent returns to the organisation.
MANAGING AND VISUALIZING SPATIAL DATA FROM AN A CLASS
RESERVE
Keith Hickey: GIS Coordinator, Information Systems, Chevron Australia
Barrow Island is an A Class nature reserve off the
northwest coast of Western Australia. Over the past
40 years Chevron Australia has undertaken
petroleum activities on Barrow Island under a strict
environmental plan which protects unique flora and
fauna.
Keith Hickey described how workers on Barrow
Island are able to input wildlife incident data (such
as deaths, injuries, relocations, rescues and
removals) into a web interface developed by
Chevron’s GIS Team. Prior to the introduction of the
web interface there were discrepancies in the
location of wildlife incidents logged – some were as
far adrift as the Indian Ocean! The new system
uses a Microsoft Silverlight application with
controlled entry fields which is linked to a visual
map so workers can point and click to add the
location of incidents - much like zooming in on
Google Earth. This allows workers to report
incidents from the comfort of their office rather
than juggling laptops and GPS devices in the field
where conditions can be extreme. All key built
structures on Barrow Island have precise spatial locations registered so when
workers zoom in and click on a road, building or well site the exact longitude and
latitude are recorded.
Collecting accurate data about wildlife incidents enables evidence-based decisions
to be used in the development of harm minimisation strategies and trends can be

monitored over time to provide a feedback loop for these strategies. Some of the
strategies which have been put in place to protect flora and fauna include:
Convoys (e.g. buses) are used for transporting workers rather than
multiple single vehicles
The speed limit on Barrow Island is set quite low at 60km per hour during
the day and 40km per hour at night. In-vehicle monitoring systems are
linked to individual users (via keys) so it is simple to identify drivers who
speed.
In vehicle monitoring systems also make it simple to identify those who
leave the approved roads and rights of way which have been established
to minimize the impact on native flora.
The web interface has improved the accuracy of the data collected and improved
the speed and ease of generating reports to meet the requirements of the
environmental plan. It has also helped protect the unique flora and fauna of
Barrow Island.
CHEVRON’S INFORMATION GOVERNANCE JOURNEY
Rhonda Beaton: IM Compliance Coordinator, Information Systems, Chevron
Australia
The Information Management Function at
Chevron Australia is only eight years old and
has grown rapidly since 2006. Information –
which includes data, and both physical and
electronic items - is seen as a strategic asset
which is essential for successful and safe
operations.
Information management is the means by
which organisations efficiently plan, collect,
organise, use, control and disseminate their
information AND it ensures the value of
information is identified and exploited for
competitive advantage.
What was the motivator for the development of the Information Management
(IM) Function at Chevron Australia?
1. primarily a clear directive from the legal team – the organisation needed
to ensure they could easily produce information/data which might be
required to be produced in court
2. safety - the goal was to have zero safety incidents which could be
attributed to information integrity/access issues
3. MCPs (major capital projects) – managing the data & information
associated with MCPs
Chevron Australia deployed the IBM Governance House model which
encompasses seven main themes:
1. organisation change management
2. governance competency management
3. information architecture management (this was missing)
4. metadata management
6
5. data quality management
6. value creation
7. information protection/security
The development of the IM Function was necessary to keep pace with the rapid
growth of Chevron Australia’s workforce. Increasing staff numbers had the
potential to increase information management risks such as:
cultural dilution
non-compliance
loss of control of information
increased exposure to safety, environmental, reputational & commercial
risks, and ultimately an incident
The approach of the IM Function was to develop a clear information management
policy. The IM team focused on changing behaviours by mandating expectations
around following processes. An Information Governance Standard was also
developed to identify responsibilities and improve accountability around
information handling.
The implementation of the Information Governance Framework has been very
strategic. The IM Function realised that behavioural change management would
be essential for the success of the new Framework, and early wins would help to
spread a positive attitude to the new way of working. To this end, the IM Function
initially partnered with Subsurface Data Management as they were open to
change and further along the path of data & information management than other
departments.
The implementation of the Information Governance Policy has been so effective
that it has been fed up through the Chevron organisation - Australia has led the
way.
AGIA AGM 2013
SOUTH AUSTRALIA BRANCH REPORT 2012-2013
This report was omitted from the AGM round-up in the last edition of the
newsletter – apologies Ed.
The SA Branch held its Annual General Meeting on 6 December 2012.
With the departure of President Grant Jacquier to Brisbane shortly before the
meeting, Des Tellis was elected President, and Pam Aagaard, Librarian at DMITRE
was welcomed to the Committee.
Office bearers elected: President: Des Tellis
Treasurer: Tony Turner
Secretary: Julie Roberts
Committee: Pam Aagaard, Helen Challen
The new Committee met in May 2013 to review the paper being written by Des on
the history of the AMF, AESIS and the geoscience thesaurus.

From Making Data discoverable & accessible by Florian Mayer, Marine Science
Information Management, Department of Parks and Wildlife | Science and
Conservation Division
In addition, the Committee began planning for a joint information session to be
held by DMITRE and the AGIA SA Branch.
The Information Dissemination session was held on Friday 19 July 2013. The
programme provided two presentations. The first, presented by Michael Ross of
DMITRE, was on SARIG – South Australian Resources Information Geoserver – an
award-winning online web application developed by the Department’s Minerals
and Energy Group which enables users to search, view and down load information
relating to minerals, petroleum and geothermal exploration in South Australia
through multi-layered applications. The second on AESIS, now a closed reference
database on RMIT’s Informit system, and AusGeoRef, the subset of international
geoscience database, GeoRef, which includes over 70,000 references to published
information from AESIS, was presented by Julie Roberts and Des Tellis. The
session was chaired by Des, and wonderfully organized by Pam Aagaard. Full
details will be in the latest issue of Great Australian Byte [December 2013,
Vol.14(3) - Ed.]
ANDS RESEARCH DATA MANAGEMENT ROUNDTABLE
Good data management is like flossing your teeth – it will make you bleed at first
but it is cheaper than crowns.
Florian Mayer, Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife
Representatives from universities, government and industry attended the ANDS
Data Management Roundtable in Perth on March 18. While it was evident the
diverse group was engaged with a wide variety of data types - ranging from open
access social science research data to highly confidential proprietary scientific
technical data - the discussion revealed many common issues and provided
insight into innovative solutions.
The function of the Australian National Data Service is to:
“make Australian research data collections more valuable by managing,
connecting, enabling discovery and supporting the reuse of this data
enable richer research, more accountable research; more efficient use of
research data; and improved provision of data to support policy
development” http://www.ands.org.au/about-ands.html
Florian Mayer gave an
enthusiastic presentation
about pushing the envelope
at WA’s Department of Parks
and Wildlife (DPaW) to
encourage data sharing
between colleagues and
stakeholders. The biggest
challenge facing Florian at
DPaW is developing a
centralised, secure,
discoverable and accessible
repository for DPaW’s data.
Florian conducted a live
demonstration of a database
he has developed as a pilot of
8
https://data.csiro.au/dap
what might be possible at DPaW (view at http://data-demo.dpaw.wa.gov.au/),
showing keyword and spatial searches. He also demonstrated the adaptation of
Google Analytics code to automatically analyse datasets via a web app (see the
demonstration here), with the ability to export analyses for publication. See
Florian’s presentation notes for a more detailed breakdown of the code and
technical pointers.
Information Specialist with CSIRO IM&T Research Data Service Support Sue Cook
gave an overview of CSIRO’s Data Access Portal (DAP). The DAP is a secure
repository which enables external publication of datasets with options for
searching, retrieval and downloading. One of the most surprising revelations in
Sue’s presentation was that the DAP is a self-serve repository, where researchers
load their own data and set permissions, although support is provided in creating
metadata and preparing datasets for deposit. Sue outlined the key benefits to
researchers:
• “linking of data to publications
• recognition of data producers- attribution statements, data citations in
same way as publications- DOIs for public collections,
• deposit of data to preserve it
• discovery and reuse of data- exposed to multiple discovery points, web
services
• management of data
• sharing of data with collaborators, internally and externally, nationally
and internationally- flexible access and permissions framework, choice of
licences” (Sue Cook, CSIRO’s Data Access Portal)
Success in populating this self-
serve repository has aspects of a
carrot and stick approach. Selling
the benefits of deposit to
researchers and catching them at
the right time in the research
lifecycle is crucial for encouraging
deposits – and experience has
shown that willing depositors supply
better quality metadata. Recent
changes to Australian Research
Council grants which require
researchers to make their data
available has provided external
motivation for deposit. Google
Analytics reports are being
generated to provide information
about top-viewed and top-
downloaded datasets as a further
incentive to participation by
researchers.
Work continues to enhance the DAP
through increased capacity, linking to
other CSIRO repositories and firming
up the rules around Digital Object
Identifiers (DOIs). Big data is also firmly on the agenda, with a project underway
9
to expose CSIRO’s Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) Science
Data Archive via the DAP.
Presentations from the ANDS Research Data Management Roundtable can be
found at http://www.ands.org.au/presentations/index.html. You can read more
about data as an institutional asset from CSIRO's perspective in the April 2014
edition of the ANDS newsletter share.

EASTER BREAKFAST PERTH
Chocolates were the reward for the intrepid AGIA members who found their way
to the obscurely located Country Road Café (for those who like their coffee down
an alley, round a corner and through a back door). As always the Easter
Breakfast was an opportunity for members to network, share information about
upcoming events and discuss the latest geoscience information issues.
Feedback from the AGIA membership indicates that there is a continuing demand
for information about access to geoscience information and data in addition to
those resources already listed on the AGIA website. Two possible solutions were put forward at the Breakfast:
1. Mendeley Group – this is cloud-based reference management system
where citations to papers, presentations etc. can be shared. This could be a useful way to maintain a record of items of interest to AGIA members.
2. Social bookmarking using an application such as Delicious. URLs to
websites of interest (e.g. databases) are captured and tagged (indexed)
and shared via the application. Users can also add explanatory notes.
AGIA could play a role in developing groups within the applications with some
initial seeding, but to be effective both of these solutions rely on users to create
and share content. The applications are free to use and have been reasonably
stable over a period of years. Both are accessible via major internet browsers,
although some organisations may soft block the applications.
Feedback will be sought via a very brief online survey to assess whether there is
an interest in adopting either of these applications as a means for sharing
information about geoscience information resources. In the meantime please
follow these links to discover more about Mendeley Groups and Delicious.
Note: I use Zotero as a
reference manager, although I
am frustrated by its lack of
interface with Android products
and its reliance on Firefox (not
the case with Mendeley
Groups). You can see a
comparison of reference
management applications here.
I also use Delicious, but I have
not fully explored the ‘social’
aspect of the application.

THE FUTURE OF TROVE Presentation by Tim Sherratt at Digital Collections Online
State Library of Western Australia, 18th March 2014
Tim Sherratt – Manager of Trove at the National Library of Australia (NLA) and
self-described digital historian, web tinkerer & cultural data hacker- believes the
future is big and full of ‘really cool stuff’. As Trove celebrates its 5th Anniversary,
Tim shared his reflections on the future of Trove at the Digital Collections Online
seminar at the State Library of Western Australia last month. Tim’s presentation
is available via slideshare.
Trove is an online search engine developed by the National Library of Australia
and is built on top of many collaborative projects, such as Libraries Australia
which aggregates the catalogues of Australian libraries. In addition to the
metadata harvested through its connection with Libraries Australia, Trove gathers
metadata from organisations such as museums, archives, historical societies,
universities, research organisations, and local councils. It enables users to
conduct federated searches for a wide variety of objects including newspapers
articles, theses, photos, journals, music, maps, diaries and archived websites.
Tim has blended his passion for exploring new gadgets and technology with his
experience as a historian, and spends a good deal of time examining the meaning
of progress, at the way we talk about the future and the way we look at things
like science and technology. He believes there is a perception that there are
schisms or clear breaks in history which divide the old and the new, a belief that
11
From The Future of Trove by Tim Sherratt
there is no going back. Tim’s historian’s eye – while acknowledging that there are
certainly cultural and political trends – believes the past can inform the future.
Trove is constantly evolving and this change is necessary if it is to remain
relevant and take advantage of emerging technologies which allow users to do
more with more. Tim enjoys being surprised at the way people use Trove, which
confirms his belief that the future of Trove isn’t a roadmap to be followed - it is a
series of turning points to be confronted; it is waiting to be built.
The Trove newspaper zone (which contains approximately 120 million digitized
articles) has brought about changes in historical practice. The threads of human
experience run through Trove and users can now find fragments of history - the
local and the ephemeral - which were previously out of reach. Researchers can
now tell deeper, richer, more nuanced stories. The technologies which make this
possible – OCR and keyword searching - have been around a long time. Yet when
these technologies are applied to 120 million articles spanning 150 years of
Australian history something happens – the results are much more than the sum
of the technology and the resources. The boundaries and possibilities have only
begun to be explored. The big data is telling a story.
People are using Trove to explore the context of current events, developing local
perspectives around national issues, and to test (or reinforce) prejudices. This
use of Trove adds immediacy to the discourse between past and present which
Tim finds interesting. He believes the future of Trove doesn’t have to be
comfortable – the democratization of
access to resources may have
unexpected uses and outcomes.
Tim is interested in exploring new
ways of using the newspaper articles
that are available via Trove. He
developed Querypic, a script that
takes metadata from Trove and
generates a graphical output so it is
possible to see the trajectory of
events. It is possible to extract
geospatial information to look at what
was happening in particular place.
Searching on the word “gold” across
all Australian newspapers in Trove,
Tim generated a graph which showed
the number of articles about gold,
with a later peak in Western Australia,
reflecting the timing of the gold
rushes. Clicking a point on the graph brings up the top 20 results from Trove. Tim
had a word of warning for researchers wanting to extract reliable research
outcomes from this sort of data manipulation: Digitisation projects impact the
number of articles available at different times and in different states which can
skew results – for example the Gallipoli centenary will produce a big spike in
articles digitized from the period 1914-1918.
Collections which are searchable via Trove become more accessible through
exposure to a wider audience. Contributors to Trove also have access to Trove’s
API (Application Programming Interface) which allows them to profile data
relating to their collection. Trove interacts with similar bodies internationally such
12
as Digital NZ, Digital Public Libraries of America and Europeana, and there is
some exchange of metadata which allows federated searching of linked
collections. These bodies are doing similar things and conversations to explore
these similarities are useful, however the size of the Trove community sets it
apart. Trove has 120,000 users, 32,000 lists and more than 120 million lines of
text have been corrected by volunteers. One person has corrected more than 2
million lines of text! Lists are growing faster than other user annotations and are
particularly interesting as they identify links between objects.
Mobile usage of Trove has doubled and new interfaces are being developed to
support mobile access. Tim believes it is important to explore ways of taking
collections out to the spaces people already inhabit, to find new ways of
interacting so collections are not left isolated in a database on a website. Trove
should be viewed as a platform rather than a portal: portals are for visiting,
platforms are for building upon.
People dream of clean and shiny future with everything in its place, but Tim
reminds us that reality is messy and complicated. The future of Trove is not just
about click interfaces and faster searching – although there will be some of that.
The future of Trove will be messy and complicated. Trove is built on metadata but
powered by people who create, use, share and annotate that metadata. Tim
sometimes worries about Trove’s patterns of usage - the most prolific users of
Trove links on Twitter are climate change sceptics from the USA. This doesn’t
make Tim happy, but in a future where access to Trove is democratic its uses will
sometimes be at odds with some ideologies. Trove is heading off into uncharted
territory and Tim hopes we come along for the journey.

AUGEN 3RD ANNUAL MEETING
In line with the AGIA’s objectives of initiating, aiding, promoting and improving
the exchange of information in the earth sciences, the Association was again one
of the sponsors of the annual Australasian Universities Geoscience Educators
Network (AUGEN) meeting. The 3rd annual AUGEN meeting was held in Brisbane
in January 2014 and showcased the future of technology-enhanced teaching
spaces and public outreach.
Prof Tom Blenkinsop and Dr Maree Corkeron provide a full summary of the
meeting on the AUGEN website. Paraphrasing their summary, workshops at the
meeting focussed on integrating 3D visualization technology into Earth Science
teaching across the breadth of learning spaces; in the field, the classroom, the
laboratory and online. Michael Roach from the University of Tasmania covered
hardware and software requirements for creating terrestrial photogrammetry and
gigapixel photography, creating 3D reconstructions of images collected by
participants. A team from the Queensland University of Technology (also the
venue for the meeting) led workshops on creating an online 3D virtual object
library.
Abstracts of the presentations listed below can be viewed on the AUGEN website:
