Research Data: Activities of the U.S. National Committee for CODATA

美国国家科学和技术数据委员会(U.S.CODATA)的使命是改善数字数据和信息的管理、政策和使用，为科学和更广泛的社会服务。美国CODATA致力于规划、项目开发和对其发起的项目的行政监督，并负责美国国家科学院、工程院和医学研究院与研究数据和信息相关的活动计划。这项提案支持美国的CODATA活动和一次重要的CODATA会议。数字革命在管理和使用所有类型的研究和其他数据和信息方面创造了新的机会。目前，大多数科学研究领域都是以数据为导向的，这在研究机构和研究成果的传播方面产生了广泛的数量和质量改进。数字网络环境下的技术体系在快速发展的同时，也对传统的科学交流和影响评估方式产生了颠覆性影响。学术交流和知识生产的新模式正在迅速出现，但它们得到了充分的确立或理解，它们的采用取决于许多社会和科学因素。需要解决诸如质量保证、元数据和引文协议、长期数字保存、声誉和奖励系统、科学完整性以及研究数据和信息活动的评估方法等古老的地方性问题，特别是考虑到新的数字知识技术和应用。美国CODATA通过国家科学院采取行动，这是国际科学理事会及其CODATA委员会的附属机构，代表美国数据界并与CODATA的国际活动进行协调。它将使美国能够参与国际CODATA并主持美国CODATA会议，以确定其任务范围内的活动议程，以推进美国的数据管理挑战；作为中立的召集人，鼓励和促进跨学科和部门在研究数据和信息活动中的共同利益方面的合作；并监督和促进美国政府和研究社区在这些问题上的立场的发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The mission of the United States National Committee on Data for Science and Technology (U.S. CODATA) is to improve the stewardship, policy, and use of digital data and information for science and the broader society. U.S. CODATA engages in planning, program development, and administrative oversight of projects launched under its auspices, and is responsible for a program of activities at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine related to research data and information. This proposal supports U.S. CODATA activities and one major CODATA meeting.The digital revolution has created new opportunities in the management and use of all types of research and other data and information. Most areas of scientific research are currently data-driven and this has produced a broad range of quantitative and qualitative improvements in the research enterprise and in the communication of research results. While the technical systems in the digitally networked environment are progressing rapidly, they have also been a disruptive force in traditional way of scientific communication and impact evaluation. New models of scholarly exchange and knowledge production are quickly emerging, but they sufficiently established or understood, and their adoption depends on many social and scientific factors. Old endemic problems such as quality assurance, metadata and citation protocols, long-term digital preservation, reputation and reward systems, scientific integrity, and assessment methodologies for research data and information activities need to be addressed, especially in light of new digital knowledge technologies and applications. U.S. CODATA acts through the National Academy of Sciences, the adhering body to the International Council for Science and its CODATA commission, representing the U.S. data community and coordinating with CODATA's international activities. It will enable US participation in the international CODATA and conduct a meeting of U.S. CODATA to identify an agenda of activities within its mission to advance data management challenges in the United States; serve as a neutral convener to encourage and facilitate collaboration across disciplines and sectors on common interests in research data and information activities; and monitor and contribute to the development of U.S. government and research community positions on these issues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
