WDS-CHINA

Building on the 50-year legacy of the ICSU World Data Centres (WDCs) and the ICSU Federation of Astronomical and Geophysical data-analysis Services, the WDS aims at transitioning from existing stand-alone data centres and data services to a common, globally interoperable, distributed data system that incorporates emerging technologies and new scientific data activities... WDS covers a broad disciplinary and geographic base and is striving to become a world-wide 'community of excellence' for stewardship and provision of scientific data. To this end, WDS collaborates with several strategic partners, such as the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and the ICSU Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA).
