Partial Support for the U.S. National Committee for the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA)

9727930摘要CODATA科学全球化的同时，用于科学目的的信息和数据处理技术的速度和复杂性也在迅速扩大。这些领域的发展使大型科学计划得以规划和实施。反过来，这类程序往往需要复杂的数据处理和处理技术。鉴于许多大型科学计划的多边性，科学数据的处理、处理和传输本身已成为一项重大的国际事业，对这些科学计划至关重要。科学和技术数据委员会(CODATA)是一个附属于国际科学联盟理事会(ICSU)的非政府多边机构。CODATA的主要目标是促进全世界就与科学数据有关的问题进行交流。与国际科学理事会大家庭的其他成员一样，CODATA由非政府组织国家成员组织组成。美国国家科学院(NAS)履行这一职能。答：由非政府科学家组成的美国CODATA国家委员会协调美国参与该国际机构的工作，NAS担任其秘书处。该奖项将为NAS继续开展美国全国委员会的活动提供部分支持。还在寻求其他几个联邦机构的更多支持：能源部、NASA、NIH和NIST

9727930 ABSTRACT CODATA The globalization of science is occurring in parallel with a rapid extension in the speed and sophistication of information and data handling technologies in their uses for scientific purposes. Development in these areas permit the planning and execution of large scale scientific programs. Such programs, in turn, frequenly require sophisticated data handling and processing techniques. In view of the multilateral character of many large scale scientific programs, the handling, processing, and transmission of scientific data has become a major international enterprise in its own right, one that is vital to those scientific programs. The Committee on Data for Science and Technoogy (CODATA) is a non-governmental, multilateral body affiliated with the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU.) CODATA's principal objective is to facilitate worldwide communication on problems relevants to scientific data. Like other memembers of the ICSU family, CODATA is comprised of non-governmental National Member Organization. The National Acadmey of Sciences (NAS) fulfill this function in the United States. A. U.S. National Committee for CODATA, which is comprised of non-governmental scientists, coordinates U.S. participation in the international body, with NAS serving as its secretariat. This award will provide partial support to the NAS to continue the activities of the U.S. National Committee. Additional support is also being sought is also being sought from several other Federal Agencies: DoE, NASA, NIH, and NIST
