How do we in the Earth & Space Sciences
• Find out who is doing what?
• Share experience and expertise
• Coordinate activities
• Reduce replication of effort
• Promote common practices (standards)
• Stimulate wider participation
• Reduce the digital divide
• Raise awareness about the need for modern, professional data stewardship
• Educate; influence decision makers
• Inspire public interest
• Change the “heroic” science funding paradigm.
International Geophysical Year 1957 - 1958
Scientists cooperated in global geoscientific observations using common instruments and data processing
Data were gathered on geoscientific phenomena from around the world
Space observations were started
WDCs were established
much more……
International cooperation and sharing - Global, cross-disciplinary scope - Free, universal, ready access to data - Data preservation - Capacity building in Developing Countries - Outreach and Public Education
