The ISC World Data System (ISC-WDS) was created by the International Science Council's (ISC) General Assembly in October 2008. [1] [2] [3] [4] ISC-WDS goals are to preserve quality assured scientific data and information, to facilitate open access, and promote the adoption of standards. [5]
The ISC World Data System superseded the World Data Centres (WDCs) and Federation of Astronomical and Geophysical data analysis Services (FAGS) created by ICSU to manage data generated by the International Geophysical Year [6] [7] [8] (1957–1958).
The ISC World Data System is governed by a Scientific Committee [9] [10](SC) made up of data scientists and experts. It is supported by the International Science Council as well as an International Programme Office (IPO), which is hosted and funded by the Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology [11] [12] As of 2021, the International Program Office is hosted by the Oak Ridge Institute at the University of Tennessee (ORI at UT). [13]
In 2018 WDS announced the creation of the International Technology Office (ITO) hosted by a Canadian consortium consisting of: Ocean Networks Canada at the University of Victoria, The Canadian Astronomy Data Centre and the Canadian Cryospheric Information Network/Polar Data Catalogue at the University of Waterloo. [14] [15] [16]
A notable former member of the ICSU World Data System Scientific Committee is Professor Jane Hunter, who is the director of the E-Research lab in Queensland University.
The ISC World Data System member organizations adopt its Data Sharing Principles. [17]
Member organizations of the ISC World Data System join voluntarily in one of the four membership categories: Regular, Network, Partner, and Associate Members. Members contribute their data holdings, data services or products. The updated list of Members is available on the ISC World Data System website : ISC-WDS Membership
