Irina Bastrakova
Geoscience Australia Director, Spatial Data Architecture
Canberra, Australia
I have been actively involved with international and national geoinformatics communities for more than 19 years. I am the Chair of the Australian and New Zealand Metadata Working Group. My particular interest is in developing and practical application of geoscientific and geospatial standards through leveraging common information models, data patterns and vocabularies across multidisciplinary High Performance Data assets to support effective ingestion of data within High Performance environments. My current focus is on application and adoption of modern technologies such as semantic web and improving online accessibility to geoscientific data through application of common metadata and data standards.
