SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 20: Cyclists ride on the Bourke Street cycleway on April 20, 2012 in Sydney, Australia. The cycle lanes throughout the Sydney CBD cost on average $3million per kilometer and have been a constant topic of debate since they were created. The lanes both reduced the number of parking spaces in the city, and improved it�s sustainability with a 60% increase in cycling commuters since its inception in mid 2011.

The National Cycling Data Exchange is designed to help people in academia, government, industry and communities better understand the challenges and opportunities for cycling as an everyday mode of transport in Australia. The Exchange does this by providing convenient access to datasets related to cycling from across the country – data that could otherwise be difficult or impossible to access.

The National Cycling Data Exchange enables users to search and access housing related data assets from across Australia by using search terms, tags or filtering by location. It brings together datasets and metadata records from a range of different organisations. The goal is to maximise free and easy access to datasets that can be harmonised across time or across geographic areas, enabling broader and deeper views of the state of cycling in Australia, and minimising the need for redundant studies. The number of available data assets will continue to grow as the project progresses.

ISO19115 compliant metadata is used to support data search and discovery and the portal is based on the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible Interoperable and Reusable) to support knowledge discovery and innovation.
