[open-government] Scientific Access to Data and Information

[Uhlir, Paul]

Thank you for bringing the CODATA info to the attention of these listservs, Tracey. I have been director of the US CODATA committee since the early 1990s and involved in many of these activities, so if anyone has questions/comments to raise, I would be happy to (try to) answer them.

Paul

Subject: [open-government] Scientific Access to Data and Information

It is good to go back to the fundamentals and to learn from the innovators when it comes to data access.

International Council for Science (ICSU)  CODATA (Committee on Data for Science and Technology)
Scientific Access to Data and Information
http://www.codata.org/resources/databases/data_access/index.html

CODATA is one of the most important International Organizations on the management, preservation and dissemination of scientific data.

It has developed the key principles for the dissemination of data - http://www.codata.org/resources/databases/data_access/principles.html

and a list of important data access policy statements we can all learn and quote from
http://www.codata.org/resources/databases/data_access/policies.html

Information on the history of database protection
http://www.codata.org/resources/databases/data_access/linn.html

to name a few.

The 2012 Conference will be about open data and science.
