Scientific Access to Data and Information

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

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

Scientific Access to Data and Information

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.

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.

Canada has a CODATA committee (Canadian National Committee for CODATA:
CNC/CODATA) http://www.codata.org/canada/

I am a committee member and have worked with CNC/CODATA for the last ~10 years.
We are always looking for people to participate in CNC/CODATA :-)
