Aus-e-Stage Project
Aus-e-Stage Project Overview
AusStage fulfils a national need for public access to reliable information on the full spectrum of live performance in Australia. It delivers a dataset of national significance to researchers, postgraduate students, policy makers in government and industry practitioners. However, conventional database methods of text-based search-and-retrieval are, on their own, no longer sufficiently effective in meeting the evolving needs of research.
The Aus-e-Stage project is developing new visual interfaces to enable researchers to interact more flexibly with the AusStage dataset. Three new services are developed to operate alongside the current AusStage search-and-retrieval service. These services are:
-
Mapping Events
Visualise live performance on a map
-
Navigating Networks
Explore networks of artistic collaboration
-
Researching Audiences
Gather feedback from audiences using mobile devices
Aus-e-Stage is funded by NeAT, the National eResaerch Architecture Taskforce. The source code for these services is available on the aus-e-stage project hosted on Google Code.

AusStage Colour Scheme
The AusStage colour scheme is documented in the Aus-e-Stage project wiki. To ensure consistency across all of our services the CSS files are stored in our source code repository.
The colour scheme was developed using ColourSchemer Studio, version 2.0.1. Use the form below to turn the CSS generated by ColourSchemer into:
- The CSS rules for foreground colours
- The CSS rules for background colours
- The colours transformed into the syntax used in KML files
