FRDC requires mechanisms to assess and govern the data for which it is custodian or may become custodian of. FRDC requires a data governance framework that builds on the concepts of the NFF Farm Data Code and other Agricultural data best practices for use by FRDC data stakeholders. A data governance framework will ensure that FRDC BAU and project data is captured, managed and distributed with accountability, consistency, security and meets defined standards throughout the data lifecycle. As a coordinating industry body, it is essential that FRDC leads the way with a robust, considered approach to data management. This will place FRDC as a best practice example, it will enable consistent discussion and guidance to stakeholders and data partners and will provide a consistent foundation for overall trust and capability in the use of data as well as providing a foundation for the FRDC to maximise the value of data created through the Australian innovation system. It is expected that subsets of the FRDC data governance framework will be developed in the future to extend support to FRDC stakeholderss.
