Identifies researchers

Identifies organisations

Identifies inputs and outputs

What Is RAiD?

The Research Activity Identifier (RAiD) is a persistent identifier for research projects — governed by ISO 23527:2022

Works alongside existing identifiers:

link One connected record: Links people, organisations, funding, and outputs into a versioned history from start to finish.

map Future-ready: Support for additional scholarly identifiers is on the roadmap.

How we work

Collaborative	Embedded	Flexible	Community focused	Committed
We partner with organisations around the world to develop and deliver RAiD services	RAiD can be integrated into the infrastructure, services, and products used to do and manage research	Disciplines and countries have their own needs, so RAiD is adaptable to different contexts	We are taking an inclusive, co-design approach, engaging and consulting stakeholders and the research community to build a widely used and valued service	Our goal is to be around for as long as we’re needed, so we are building a robust and sustainable service that will be available for the long term

The Raine Study: A use case for RAiD

Acknowledgement of country

We begin this presentation by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are meeting, the Wadjak people of the Noongar nation, and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

(Credit: John D. Croft at English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 30.)

The Raine Study would like to acknowledge our participants and their families. We meet and connect at our meeting place, situated on Whadjuk Noongar Country. We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land and all the lands of our participants, their elders, past, present and emerging leaders. We acknowledge and thank Dannielle Nelson and her family for this artwork and take a moment to reflect on every participant's contribution to this study.

Established in Perth 1989�
Unincorporated Joint Venture between the 5 universities in WA, The Kids, and WIRF

Multigenerational (Gen1; Gen2; Gen3; Gen0; Gen2B)

Over the last 35 years collected extensive data:

health, mental health, behaviour, environment, social, education, and work outcomes.

Rich data set with:

>30,000 phenotypic data points,
30 million genetic data points,
>200,000 biosamples (blood, saliva, faeces, cord blood, baby teeth),
linked data to WA government sources.�

Over 800 publications utilising Raine Study data across multiple health domains

The Raine Study – World-class research-enabling platform

RS is one of the longest running ; pregnancy; longitudinal cohort study globally, established in Perth in 1989

It aims to improve human health and well-being by studying the life-course of a cohort of 'Western Australians’ considering the

multifaceted interactions of genetics, environment and behaviour.

It has grown to be multigenerational study with

Gen1 being the pregnant mothers recruited into the study and their partners (bio fathers of the fetuses)�Gen2 – foetuses recruited that are now adults and index participants of the Raine study�Gen 0 – grandparents of Gen2 �Gen3 – babies of the index participants

�Over the course of the 35 years extensive data has been collected including information on

health, mental health, behaviour, environment and social, educational and work outcomes,)

Data has been collected not just from Gen2 but also, on their parents (Gen 1).� Limited data was collected as part of a specialized sub study of their grandparents (Gen 0) �and since 2023 from their children (Gen 3). And Gen2B other biological parent, not born into the study

The main cohort, Gen2 is most extensively phenotyped and completed 17 follow-ups,

with 75% of participant returning 5 or more times and 1/3rd returning 10 or more times

Their parents, Gen1, were indirectly involved in 12 and attended 1 independent follow-up focusing on their health and social well-being

�Both Gen1 and Gen2 have now returned for Generations F/U the biggest follow-up ever 18^th and 2^nd respectively for Gen1 and Gen2 = concluding at the end of 2026

+Gen3 recruitment and assessments are ongoing since 2023

The rich data set includes :

This exceptional data and biosamples holdings have established the Raine Study as a world-class research-enabling platform

driving life-changing scientific discoveries, advancing knowledge and clinical practice, and contributing to health policies worldwide.

We now have over 800 publications utilising Raine Study data since 1993, with ongoing research projects, grant projects, and publications across multiple health domains captured by our Special Interest Groups.

Why RAiD?

�

Able to capture the multi-institutional, multidisciplinary nature of the Raine Study.�
Initially will use singular RAiD to capture all outputs, partner organisations, core research staff and collaborators.

Enhance discoverability of the Raine Study for researchers and possible partner organisations.�
Provide a resource for policymakers to explore the wealth of Raine Study research output.

Demonstrate the extensive network of Raine Study research, with the possibility of minting future RAiDs for specific projects if needed.

Due to the Raine Study being an unincorporated joint venture between a number of different organisations, it is difficult to capture its full scope – RAiD provides our best option for not only tracking Raine Study output and collaborators, but also recognizing all partner organisations in one place. The links with ORCID and ROR will also allow our collaborations to be expressed within those systems as well as RAiD.

We will start with one RAiD to cover the Raine Study as a whole, allowing interested parties to explore our extensive research network and outputs. We will also request that researchers include the overarching Raine Study RAiD in their publications, thereby allowing us to more easily track our outputs, with the aim that this will eventually allow for automated updating of the RAiD with tagged outputs.

We hope that this enhanced discoverability will also enable policymakers to easily peruse our wealth of research outputs when seeking evidence for policy decisions.

One of the advantages of RAiD lies in the option to mint more RAiDs in future, so that we can mint project-specific RAiDs and allow for more targeted exploration of our research projects and outputs.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which our research infrastructure and community operate across the Australian continent, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

We recognise the connection they have with land, sea, sky and waterways for tens of thousands of years.

AuScope

AuScope is Australia’s provider of research infrastructure to the Earth and Geospatial

Science community.

Our tools, data, services and analytics enable scientists to understand Earth’s evolution through time, and explore how it may support growing human demands.

We have been operating since 2008, running eight programs and a number of pilot projects.

Downward-Looking Telescope

AuScope has an opportunity to enable national geoscience innovation via the Downward Looking Telescope (DLT) - An integrated and augmented capability, like a telescope that will allow researchers to ‘see’ into Earth rather than out into Space. With the DLT, researchers and applied scientists can capture, focus and analyse observational data.

Ultimately, researchers will be able to create a ‘digital twin’ of Earth, and understand how the Australian continent might service our growing minerals, water, energy and space needs in the decades ahead.

AuScope RAiD Timeline

36

The AuScope RAiD Register is planned to go into operation in mid-2027.
Open questions

Who adds and who updates RAiD records?
How will the system interface with other information systems (CrossRef, DataCite, …)?
How will RAiD work for activities with many project partners?

Work will start with a scoping study.
The candidate software for the RAiD Register is CKAN.
CKAN was already used for the AuScope Data Repository, Sample Catalogue, and Instrument Register.
