Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN) is a large national project ($30m) funded by the federal government Department of Education (it was formerly funded by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science (also formerly known as DIISRTE/DIISR) through the Education Investment Fund (EIF) and the National Collaboration Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) activities. The PRESS team are responsible for the development, integration and support of the associated infrastructure. This provides single-on, secure programmatic access to over 2000 live and typically definitive data sets from many major organisations across Australia including the likes of the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Department of Health Victorias and many others. A unique feature of AURIN is that (wherever possible) it provides access to remote data sets rather than seek to establish a local data warehouse. The system has almost 3000 regular users.
