Information on DINI:
Data Infrastructure for National Infrastructure (DINI) is a pilot study within the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology’s UK Research Data Cloud Pilot programme. Its aim is to explore the potential of data to drive research and its impact on policy.  Our scope is National Infrastructure Systems within the UK with a focus on energy, water and transport. The project was coordinated by the Data and Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure, working with the Energy Data Centre and the JASMIN Facility, with contributions from Icebreaker One, the Digital Curation Centre, and the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities.
We reviewed the potential impacts of sharing infrastructure data for research, and the barriers which can get in the way. We also considered some key technologies needed to build a data cloud, and sponsored demonstrator use cases to illustrate the use of data in research practice.
