Abstract

This paper synthesises the findings from research on the conceptualisation of an Australasia open biomedical repository (OBR) from a Knowledge Management System (KMS) perspective (Kruesi, 2021b). Action research methodology was applied to investigate three research propositions. A KMS framework was developed that aligns the requirements for an OBR with the people, process, technology and content elements of an Australian KM standard. The framework identifies and defines nine processes underpinning biomedical knowledge–discovery, creation, representation, classification, storage, retrieval, dissemination, transfer and translation. The research problem, research design and methods and the research pathway set the scene prior to the discussion on the challenges of achieving an Australasia OBR. The implications of the research and the opportunities for future related research to establish gold standard, sustainable Australasia open access biomedical repository that helps to generate opportunities from research output to save lives are explored.
