 Delivering Data in Science 

ICSTI Winter Workshop

Paris, 5 March 2012

Data is the foundation of modern science today. Today’s enhanced science is
data driven. The number of data produced has never been as colossal as it is
today. 

At the same time fundamental principles of policy and management remain as
challenges if the true value of data as research assets is to be realised: 

Where to store the data? 

What part of the data to keep, as many experiments produce more data outcome
than data storage exists? 

How to quality control data? 

How to make the data available? 

How to link from classical publications to data? 

How to award credit for the scientists who publish their data? 

In the last few years many initiatives have started to address these issues
globally and locally. National administrative bodies have started to define
national data policies, global initiatives like DataCite and the World Data
System (WDS) have been established and publishers have started to link data
from their online journals.

The Strategic Coordinating Committee on Information and Data (SCCID) was
established by the International Council for Science (ICSU) in 2009 to
advise on the future organization and direction of its activities in
relation to scientific data and information. In its final report the
committee gives 14 recommendations for the improvement of access and use of
data for science.

This one day workshop will introduce you to the final SCCID report and
present a global overview of initiatives and policy papers focused on the
accessibility, management and re-use of data as scientific information.
Topics will include global case studies from all stakeholders: data centres,
publishers, libraries, policy makers, funding bodies and scientific
organisations.
