Earth and Space Science Data Interoperability

Approved by the CODATA 26th General Assembly, Kyiv, 2008
Renewal approved by the CODATA 27th General Assembly, Cape Town 2010
Renewal approved by the CODATA 28th General Assembly, Taipei 2012

Objectives

The objectives of the task group (TG) are to promote extended and improved free access to Earth science data and metadata exchange and integration worldwide. The TG will provide usage of modern and open data access standards and help to develop efficient way to achieve inter-operability including consolidation of links between CODATA and ICSU WDS. The TG will promote intellectual services for improving quality of vast volumes of Earth science data. Concrete applications of this approach promoted by the TG are further development of multi-disciplinary intelligent geographical information system (GIS) for the Globe, publication of World atlas of Earth’s magnetic field for 1500-2010, extension of Russian network of geomagnetic observatories and improvement of a geomagnetic data center for the CIS countries.
