| CODATA 2000
is a special event in the new millennium that addresses the important
interdisciplinary issues in scientific and technical data management
and dissemination. CODATA
2000 seeks to
harness the Information Revolution for the benefit of science and
technology. CODATA
2000 confronts
data, information and knowledge issues that threaten to overwhelm
us with unprecedented amounts of data. These issues result from new
experimental capability at the nano-scale, new large scale facilities,
global observing programmes, remote sensing and satellites and advanced
modelling and simulation technology. CODATA
2000 covers today’s
issues such as data access, intellectual property rights, data and
database quality, data exchange standards and the roles of databases
in research and development. CODATA
2000 examines
state-of-the-art data work in every area of science and technology,
from biology to global change, from the physical sciences to engineering. CODATA
2000 is designed
to excite the scientific community with new ideas in data management
and data science. CODATA 2000 exposes data specialists to the complexity
and variety of scientific data needs and thereby creates an environment
where ideas flourish and partnerships spring forward. CODATA
2000 is the forum
to learn about the latest advances in data tools, methods and technology
on a world-wide basis. Our venue in Italy is most conducive to learning
from attractive plenary lectures, specialised talks, group discussions
and personal interactions. It is an exciting time for scientific data,
and we invite you to be part of that excitement.
