1. ICSU World Data System - trusted data services for global science Michael Diepenbroek, Vice-Chair WDS-SC

2. History International Geophysical Year 1957–58 ICSU WDCs FAGS

3. ENIAC, 1944 Technical development Magnetometer

4. Data Intensive Science

5. WDS creation ICSU 29 th General Assembly Maputo (October 28, 2008) Decision: to establish a new ICSU-World Data System as an Interdisciplinary Body to replace the WDC and FAGS. 5

6. ICSU World Data System ‘ICSU’s long-term vision is of a world where excellence in science is effectively translated into policy making and socio- economic development. In such a world, universal and equitable access to scientific data and information is a reality …’

7. SERVICE PLATFORMS data discovery, analysis & visualisation services, data submission & publication, help desks RESEARCHERS, RESEARCH GROUPS, SCIENCE PROJECTS BASIC SERVICES COMMUNITY SERVICES USERS DATA ARCHIVES & COMPUTE SERVICES ASSISTING SERVICES registries, ontologies, cross- linking INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS, PROGRAMS, & ORGANISATIONS Architecture

8. WDS Implementation Constitution (2010) Data policy (under revision) International Programme Office (2010) Certification criteria & Membership Applications (2011) Working Groups (2012) First strategic Plan (2013)

9. Strategic Targets 1.Make trusted data services an integral part of international collaborative scientific research 2.Nurture active disciplinary and multidisciplinary scientific data services communities 3.Improve the funding environment 4.Improve the trust in and quality of open Scientific Data Services 5.Position WDS as the premium global multidisciplinary network for quality- assessed scientific research data

10. Strategic Target 1 Make trusted data services an integral part of international collaborative scientific research

11. Support Future Earth Identify data challenges and opportunities Define data policy and management principles Expand WDS membership in Social Sciences: – Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research – DataFirst – The Language Archive SciDataCon 2014: four conference tracks – bridge cross-cutting data themes and research themes of Future Earth

12. Strategic Target 2 Nurture active disciplinary and multidisciplinary scientific data services communities

13. Strategic Target 3 Improve the funding environment for data services

14. WDS is contributing to the Belmont Forum E-Infrastructures and Data Management Collaborative Research Action Goal: data management as an integral part of research funding – Funding provisions for national calls – Monitoring of applied & current research projects

15. Strategic Target 4 Improve the trust in, and quality of, open scientific data services

16. WDS Certification Evaluation criteria based on a compilation of international standards and best practices: – General requirements & policies – Organizational framework – Management of data, products and services – Technical infrastructure Reviewers board - certification agency (CA)

17. Publishing Data New concept to improve availability & quality of data Goal: data as an integral part of scholarly publishing 100+ participants at the RDA–WDS Publishing Data Interest Group sessions in Dublin & Amsterdam

18. DOC PDF CSV NetCDF TXT XML XLSX XLS GRIB … OECD principles and guidelines for access to research data (2007) Citability Licenses & persistent identification Quality QA/QC -> review procedures Efficiency (Meta)data & interoperability standards (mashine readable) FITNESS OF USE! Data Set … Publishing data - prerequisites

19. Publishing data - the Long Tail Fitness for use Total volume of scientific data Managed & published data Large scale monitoring, computed data, and disciplinary data centers Unmanaged & non-published Data from individual scientists, labs, or smaller projects Somewhat managed & open access data

20. Fitness for use Total volume of scientific data WDS/RDA Working Groups - bridging domains Publishing workflows Publishing Services Bibliometrics for data Cost recovery models Trusted repositories & services e-Infrastructures Scientific research projects

21. Collaboration between data centers & science journals linking editorial workflows linking services

22. Consortium Research facilities Data repositories Universities Libraries Industry

23. Strategic Target 5 Position ICSU-WDS as the premium global multidisciplinary network for quality assessed data

24. ARCHIVES SERVICES global regional disciplinary multi- disciplinary Members Regular (59) – Typically large, well establised data centers with global scope Network (10) – Data stewardship organisations & data analysis services (IGNSS, IVOA, IODE) Partner (4) – Supportive members (IUGG, DataCite, ESIP) Associated (18) – Participating in the discussion (ICSTI, RDA, Codata, STM, Elsevier) ICSU-WDS – a system of systems
