ICSU World Data Centers (WDC)Geophysical Year 1957


WDS creation

• ICSU 29th General Assembly decision in Maputo (October 28, 2008):

• to establish a new ICSU-World Data System as an Interdisciplinary Body to replace the WDC and FAGS.

6


WDS Objectives

• Enable universal and equitable access to quality-assured scientific data, data services, products and information;

• Ensure long term data stewardship;

• Foster compliance to agreed-upon data standards and conventions;

• Provide mechanisms to facilitate and improve access to data and data products

7


• Long standing experience & know how & motivation

• Good context with science

• Open access for all data resources

• As a whole a very large global data management capacity

• Trans-disciplinary !

Why WDS ?

Michael Diepenbroek

from the user perspective data are not reliable

Michael Diepenbroek

in particular: data centers are big data sinks, you put something in but never get something out

Michael Diepenbroek

not only technical handling and adminstration of data, most data center have a clear scientific background and correspondingly skilled staff

• ...of data archive centres, data analysis centres, data producers, data developers, data observing systems and networks, virtual observatories, etc., both regional (including national) and global

• Tough concept to address until WDS is fully developed...

Shared Understandings

• ....The WDS should aim at an integration of multidisciplinary scientific data and information to address the needs of ICSU programmes including the Earth System Sustainability Initiative...

• ... data publication and data citation should be adopted and promoted by the World Data System in order to facilitate the release of data, with proper recognition of providers...

• ...Ongoing collaboration between ICSU programmes—WDS, CODATA and IRDR—will be critical for building interoperable data systems that guarantee full and open access to data in support of better disaster prediction, understanding, and mitigation...
