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

美国国家科学技术数据委员会（U.S. CODATA）的使命是为科学和更广泛的社会改善数字数据和信息的管理、政策和使用。U.S. CODATA从事在其主持下启动的项目的规划、项目开发和行政监督，并负责美国国家科学院、工程学院和医学院与研究数据和信息相关的活动项目。该提案支持美国CODATA活动和一个主要的CODATA会议。数字革命为管理和使用所有类型的研究和其他数据和信息创造了新的机会。目前，大多数科学研究领域都是数据驱动的，这在研究事业和研究成果的交流方面产生了广泛的定量和定性改进。数字网络环境下的技术系统在飞速发展的同时，也对传统的科学传播和影响评估方式产生了颠覆性的影响。学术交流和知识生产的新模式正在迅速出现，但它们已经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、元数据和引用协议、长期数字保存、声誉和奖励制度、科学完整性以及研究数据和信息活动的评估方法等老问题，特别是考虑到新的数字知识技术和应用。美国CODATA通过美国国家科学院（国际科学理事会及其CODATA委员会的附属机构）开展行动，代表美国数据社区并协调CODATA的国际活动。它将使美国能够参与国际CODATA，并举行美国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界别就研究数据和信息活动的共同利益进行合作；监督并促进美国政府和研究界在这些问题上的立场的发展。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
