Paradoxically as knowledge and innovation becomes ever more crucial to success of our economies and societies, Universities, the main institutions tasked with leading innovation and advancing knowledge are under increased pressure to justify their place in the public purse. A skunkworks project The University of Queensland has embarked upon is looking at using visual ways to present academic information in new ways to the University community. This work is intended to be integrated into our eSpace repository, and we will also be demonstrating the work already going on within the eSpace repository.

Procuring data from internal and external systems we present that data using dynamic visualisations to provide information to academics and organisations within the University. Our talk will be focusing on the frameworks we are using to visualise this data and the service oriented approach we are taking internally , through which we hope to open up the information sharing culture in our University.
