CODATA

CODATA exists to promote global collaboration, to advance open science, and to improve the availability and usability of data for all areas of research. CODATA supports the principle that data produced by research and susceptible to being used for research should be as open as possible and as closed as necessary. CODATA works also to advance the interoperability and the usability of such data; research data should be FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). By promoting this policy, technological, and cultural changes that are essential to promote open science, CODATA helps advance the ISC's vision and mission of advancing science as a global public good.
