IPY: The International Polar Year Data and Information Service

国际极地年：国际极地年数据协调办公室这项工作将为国际极地年（IPY）建立一个中央数据协调办公室，以发展和促进必要的国际关系，以确保国际极地年项目产生的数据的可访问性、共享和长期保存。国际极地年数据协调处将与国际极地年国际方案处合作，设立一个全时的专业数据和资料单位，积极跟踪国际极地年项目的研究和教育活动，以便将所有美国项目充分纳入国际极地年活动的国际数据库。这将通过向后代提供国际极地年项目和数据的相关记录来确保国际极地年的遗产。国际和平年数据协调办公室将以现有的国家和国际结构为基础，确保有效跟踪国际和平年的研究和教育活动。国际极地年数据协调办公室的目的是服务于国际极地年跨学科科学、国际协调、遗产建设和公众参与的目标。这将需要一种严谨而又合作的方法，因为跨学科科学要求科学家在他们不是专家的领域访问和分析数据；国际协调需要自由和公开地交换数据；遗留问题要求系统健全，并妥善保存国际马铃薯年活动的信息；公众参与需要使复杂的信息易于教育工作者和其他人理解和使用。

IPY: The International Polar Year Data Coordination OfficeThis effort will establish a central Data Coordination Office for the International Polar Year (IPY) to develop and promote the international relationships necessary to ensure accessibility, sharing, and long-term preservation of data produced by IPY projects. The IPY Data Coordination Office will work with the International Programme Office for IPY to establish a full-time, professional data and information unit that will actively track the research and education activities of IPY projects, so that all US projects are fully integrated into the international database of IPY activities. This will ensure the legacy of IPY by providing future generations with a relevant record of the projects and data of IPY. The IPY Data Coordination Office will build on existing national and international structures to ensure the effective tracking of IPY research and education activities. The purpose of the IPY Data Coordination Office is to serve the IPY objectives of interdisciplinary science, international coordination, building a legacy, and public engagement. This will require a rigorous yet collaborative approach because interdisciplinary science requires scientists to access and analyze data in fields where they are not experts; international coordination requires free and open exchange of data; the legacy requires that systems be robust and that information on IPY activities be well preserved; and public engagement requires making complex information readily understandable and usable by educators and others.
