The Second Polar Data Forum: Understanding the Polar Regions through Globally Collaborative Data Management

该提案将于2015年10月在加拿大滑铁卢举办第二届极地数据论坛。PDF II将以2013年10月在日本东京举行的第一届极地数据论坛（PDF I）的成功为基础。第二份文件的目标是细化相关主题和优先事项，并确定解决目标问题的行动。这包括通过促进开放数据和有效的数据管理来满足社会和科学的需求，在各个层面建立数据的共享和互操作性，开发可信的数据管理系统，并确保数据的长期保存。该研讨会将为美国资助的极地数据倡议提供一个至关重要的场所，并展示由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和其他美国机构资助的极地数据管理系统，同时向全球合作伙伴学习并共同努力，继续制定国际愿景和行动计划。讲习班除了有助于在全球范围内管理极地数据，向后代提供数据外，还将通过土著组织的参与，让年轻的研究人员和代表性不足的群体参与进来，以确保北极土著人民的参与。此外，正在计划由亚太经合组织和北极网学生协会共同举办一个针对研究生和研究人员需要的数据管理培训讲习班。

The proposal is for hosting the Second Polar Data Forum (PDF II) in Waterloo, Canada on October 2015. The PDF II will be building on the success of the first Polar Data Forum (PDF I) held in Tokyo, Japan, October 2013. The goal of the PDF II is to refine relevant themes and priorities and establish actions to address the target issues. This includes meeting the needs of society and science through promotion of open data and effective data stewardship, establishing sharing and interoperability of data at a variety of levels, developing trusted data management systems, and ensuring long-term data preservation. The workshop will provide a critically important venue for U.S.-based and funded polar data initiatives and to showcase polar data management systems funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and other U.S. agencies, while learning from global partners and working collaboratively to continue developing an international vision and action plan. Beside providing a contribution to managing polar data on a global scale, making data available to future generations, the workshop will involve young researchers and underrepresented groups through the engagement of Indigenous organizations to ensure participation of Indigenous people of the Arctic. Moreover, a data management training workshop targeted at the needs of graduate students and researchers is being planned, co-organized by APECS and the ArcticNet Student Association.
