The Antarctic & Arctic Data Consortium (a2dc) was established in spring 2013 as a grass-roots initiative to help improve the visibility of data resources for the polar geoscience community through a modest joint marketing effort at national meetings and on the web. Out of this self-organizing effort came the recognition that while each data facility serves a different segment of the polar community, improved coordination and better integration of our data resources would significantly benefit the broad and multi-disciplinary community engaged in polar science. Up to date, there has been little interaction or coordination between polar data facilities, yet much is to be gained by sharing experiences, technological approaches and leveraging existing solutions. The project aims at formalizing and enhancing the coordination of a2dc members through the coordination of a network that will bring the data facilities together on an annual basis. This will support new coordinated outreach to the science community to help researchers identify and use the services that are available to them and for the centers to ensure they are more effectively serving the widest possible audience, including international stakeholders.

2013年春季成立了南极北极数据联合会，作为一项基层举措，通过在国家会议和网络上开展适度的联合营销努力，帮助提高极地地球科学界数据资源的可见度。通过这种自组织的努力，我们认识到，虽然每个数据设施都为极地社区的不同部分服务，但改善协调和更好地整合我们的数据资源将使从事极地科学的广泛和多学科社区受益匪浅。迄今为止，极地数据设施之间的互动或协调很少，但通过分享经验、技术方法和利用现有解决方案，可以取得很大的成果。该项目旨在通过协调一个每年将数据设施汇集在一起的网络，使数据中心成员的协调正规化并加强协调。这将支持对科学界进行新的协调外联，以帮助研究人员确定和使用可供他们使用的服务，并确保中心更有效地为包括国际利益攸关方在内的尽可能广泛的受众提供服务。
