from public transport. A rich range of privacy protecting solutions are now available and this data limiting argument is often no longer valid (Sinnott et al., 2016). Role-based security In AURIN authorisation-oriented security has been implemented to restrict system access to privileged users. Currently we are using this security system to restrict access to certain datasets. For example, the ABR data is restricted to partners of the ABR - these partners are authenticated at the source. Single Sign-on There is a clear need for single sign-on across government. The AURIN platform can be accessed and used by any academic across Australia through use of their own institutional credentials, i.e. the home institution username and password. Once authenticated, researchers can access and use any data sets that their credentials allow without any further challenge/response for usernames/passwords. Data sharing often begins with security, and further progress can be made from the technologies that support sign sign-on. Where a dataset is deemed to require additional security then ‘new technology’ platforms which enable security should be employed. AURIN is one such system developed for urban research data (ie data that is geospatially referenced). Summary Meaningful, diverse and accessible data is the key to enabling researchers to provide Australia with new knowledge and innovation – which is essential to this country’s successful growth and sustainability. AURIN’s visibility across multiple sectors puts it in a unique position to provide the insights detailed in this submission about the challenges and solutions that should be considered. AURIN looks forward to working with government and other stakeholders to embed these improvements in the future Contributors Dr. Serryn Eagleson, Ms. Emma Williams, Prof. Ian Bishop, Prof. Richard Sinnott, Dr. Steven Glackin, Dr. Jack Barton, Dr. Jennie Day, Prof. Billie Giles-Corti, Dr. Suzanne Mavoa, Dr. Claudia Pelizaro, Ms. Rachel Lerm and Mr. Andrew Dingjan.
