It provides a new level of learning in the archives and records profession, filling a gap between a tertiary course and on-the-job experience. These courses are ideal for: - People who are new to archives and need a grounding in archival principles; - Students who wish to enhance the archival component of their training; - Professional archivists who may require a refresher in new archival methods and theory – e.g. emergent web technologies and social media platforms; - Statutory organisations whose staff need records and archives knowledge as part of their responsibilities. - Organisations with volunteers who engage in archival work and need basic knowledge. 2016-07-01 09:00:00 UTC 2025-12-31 17:00:00 UTC Australian Society of Archivists Australia Australia Australian Society of Archivists office@archivists.org.au [] [] [] open_to_all ArchivesRecordsArvchivingRecordkeeping
  • WORKSHOP SERIES: Submitting sequencing data and genome assemblies to the European Nucleotide Archive

    24 March - 4 April 2025

    WORKSHOP SERIES: Submitting sequencing data and genome assemblies to the European Nucleotide Archive https://dresa.org.au/events/workshop-series-submitting-sequencing-data-and-genome-assemblies-to-the-european-nucleotide-archive The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) is the European node of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC), providing a comprehensive record of the world’s nucleotide sequencing information, covering raw sequencing data, sequence assembly information and functional annotation. The three INSDC members (ENA, NCBI-SRA and DDBJ-SRA) routinely exchange data which ensures nucleotide data is archived and shared across geographically dispersed locations (Europe, USA and Japan). The ENA is provided by EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute, EMBL-EBI. ENA team members Dr Joana Pauperio and Maira Ihsan will deliver a series of related workshops on submitting raw read sequencing, Metagenome-Assembled Genome (MAG), environmental DNA (eDNA) and genome assembly and annotation data to ENA.* Each workshop will begin with an introduction to the ENA data and metadata model. You will then be guided through hands-on exercises using example data sets to practice data submission via one of three submission routes: Interactive web-based submission: these are completed by filling out web forms in your browser and downloading template spreadsheets that can be completed off-line and uploaded to ENA. Command-line based submission: Data submissions of this type are completed via the command line using ENA's bespoke Webin-CLI program. This validates your submissions entirely before you complete them, allowing you maximum control of the process. Webin-CLI is the only way to submit assembled genomes and transcriptomes. Programmatic submission: these are completed by preparing your submissions as XML/JSON documents and either sending them to ENA using a program such as cURL or using ENA's Webin Portal. *This series is designed with flexibility in mind. You can apply to attend one or more workshops \- choose the workshop(s) most relevant to you.* | Date/Time | Workshop title| Dataset | Submission route | | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | | 25 March 2025 1 \- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting raw read sequencing data using interactive web-based tools | Raw reads | Interactive web-based submission | | 26 March 2025 1 \- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting raw read sequencing data using programmatic tools | Raw reads | Programmatic submission | | 27 March 2025 1 \- 3 pm AEDT | Submitting raw-read sequencing data using command line based tools | Raw reads | Command-line submission | | 31 March 2025 1 \- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting genome assembly and annotation data using the command line | Genome assembly and annotation data | Command-line submission | | 1 April 2025 1 \- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting Metagenome-Assembled Genome (MAG) data to ENA and MGNify using the command line | Metagenome-Assembled Genome (MAG) | Command-line submission | | 2 April 2025 1 \- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting environmental DNA (eDNA) data | Environmental DNA (eDNA) | Multiple methods in development | **Learning outcomes:** By the end of each workshop you should be able to: * Identify the importance of data sharing * Outline the purpose of the ENA * Explain the ENA Metadata Model and the importance of metadata * Describe the data submission routes at the ENA * Identify the range of tools and services offered by the ENA for data submission * Submit the demonstrated data type using the ENA submission route shown in the workshop(s) you attend **Location:** Online via Zoom. **Date/Time:** 25 March to 3 April 2025\.

  • Predictive Analytics for Data Science: Linear and Non-Linear Modelling

    28 - 29 March 2025

    Predictive Analytics for Data Science: Linear and Non-Linear Modelling https://dresa.org.au/events/predictive-analytics-for-data-science-linear-and-non-linear-modelling-e8d89bd0-1e2e-44ba-b3bf-5f3094a2130f This masterclass is an introduction to linear and non-linear predictive models. It will provide an interactive step-by-step guide to running these models and key diagnostics using the R software platform. Regression modelling is a foundation in data science and a must for anyone wanting to venture into this space. Understanding when and how to use linear and non-linear regression models in everyday research is an essential skill for any analyst. Linear and non-linear regression models are commonly used to quantify the relationship between two or more variables by predicting a key outcome of interest. These models are used as effective and powerful tools to control for the potential confounding effect of extraneous variables and/or developing highly predictive models. Linear regression relates to continuous outcomes and is a fundamental regression technique in data science. Logistic regression is used when the outcome of interest is categorical and a fundamental classification technique in data science. When there is no theoretical or mechanistic model to suggest a particular functional form to describe the relationship between two or more variables of interest, Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) can used as they fit a nonparametric curve to the data without requiring pre-defining any particular mathematical model to describe the nonlinearity. Gaining a sound understanding of all these models is essential to understand when it is appropriate to use these techniques. 2025-03-28 09:30:00 UTC 2025-03-29 17:00:00 UTC ACSPRI online, Australia online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au [] researchersPhD studentsHDR students 12 workshop open_to_all Predictive modelsPredictive AnalyticsData Sciencesocial data science

  • WORKSHOP: Retrieving nucleotide sequencing data from the European Nucleotide Archive

    3 April 2025

    WORKSHOP: Retrieving nucleotide sequencing data from the European Nucleotide Archive https://dresa.org.au/events/workshop-retrieving-nucleotide-sequencing-data-from-the-european-nucleotide-archive The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) is the European node of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC), providing a comprehensive record of the world’s nucleotide sequencing information, covering raw read sequencing data, sequence assembly information and functional annotation. The three INSDC members (ENA, NCBI-SRA and DDBJ-SRA) routinely exchange data which ensures nucleotide data is archived and shared across geographically dispersed locations (Europe, USA and Japan). The ENA is provided by EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute, EMBL-EBI. This workshop provides an introduction to the ENA data and metadata model and data retrieval tools, followed by an opportunity to practice retrieving a range of different data types from the ENA using a variety of tools and protocols. **Learning outcomes:** By the end of this workshop you should be able to: * Outline the ENA data and metadata standards * Identify the metadata fields associated with different data types submitted to the INSDC * Build queries based on the datasets you would like to retrieve * Describe of the range of tools offered by the ENA to download data files * Practice data retrieval using the ENA advanced search **Location:** Online via Zoom. **Date/Time:** Thursday 3 April 2025, 1 \- 3 pm AEDT / 12 \- 2 pm AEST / 12:30 \- 2:30 pm ACDT / 10 am \- 12 pm AWST.

  • Discourse Analysis: Online

    28 - 29 April 2025

    Discourse Analysis: Online https://dresa.org.au/events/discourse-analysis-online Utilising existing data in qualitative research is extremely valuable either as a total data set in its own right or as a subset to enhance interview and observational data sets. Michael Foucault initiated the basic approach to dealing with existing spoken, written or visual data such as policy documents, case notes, photos, articles etc. and this was later further developed by Norman Fairclough into Critical Discourse analysis. This two-day online course will demonstrate with practical examples, the two major approaches to analysing dicourses: Foucauldian and Critical Discourse Analysis. 2025-04-28 09:30:00 UTC 2025-04-29 15:30:00 UTC ACSPRI online, Australia online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 12 [] open_to_all Qualitative ResearchQualitative methodsqualitativediscourse analysisqualitative data
