21st Century Science Drivers Earth (Complex) System science Higher space/time resolution Rapid response Data assimilation into models Challenges: distributed data, complex cross- disciplinary data, large data sets, data discovery, data preservation, data rescue,..., open access and sharing.

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

IGY+50 Embrace and extend IGY principles … International cooperation and data sharing Global, cross-disciplinary scope Universal, open access to data Timely and convenient access to data Data preservation Capacity building, especially in dev. countries Education and public outreach

Themes Data access Data discovery Data release Data preservation Data rescue Outreach & Education Capacity building WG: Data Integration and Knowledge Discovery WG: Virtual Observatories WG: Best Practice WG: E/PO …..
