(ICSU), renewed the agreement between the respective organizations to host
the ICSU World Data System's International Programme Office (WDS-IPO) at
NICT for a further five-year period starting from 1 April 2016 and ending
31 March 2021.

Dr Hackmann addressed her sincere thanks to NICT and its Vice President on
behalf of ICSU and WDS for the generous and increased financial support
given to the IPO. She noted that without NICT’s lasting commitment and
intellectual contributions, the WDS programme could not have achieved its
current international standing or made a significant impact in the area of
scientific data sharing and management.

The signing ceremony took place on 21 September 2015 at the ICSU
Secretariat in Paris, during the 13th Meeting of the WDS Scientific
Committee (see below). At the meeting, NICT hosted a special workshop on *Data
Sharing and Information Technologies*, the keynote presentation of
which was given by Dr Tomita, who highlighted some of the important
contributions of NICT in his talk on *Open and Global ICT Innovation
Platform for Future Smarter Communication World*.
Thirteenth Meeting of the WDS Scientific Committee

The 13th Meeting of the WDS Scientific Committee (WDS-SC) took place on
21–22 September at the ICSU Secretariat in Paris, France. This was the
initial face-to-face meeting of the third WDS Scientific Committee
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=25b9f991e8&e=cf85b312a2>,
appointed by the ICSU Executive Board in July for the period 2015–2018. The
Meeting started with a (virtual) handover from the previous Chair of the
WDS-SC, Bernard Minister, to the new Chair, Sandy Harrison, and also saw
the election of Ingrid Dillo and Wim Hugo as Vice-chairs.

Heide Hackmann (ICSU Executive Director) began a series of introductory
talks by giving the new WDS-Scientific Committee insight into ICSU's vision
and the role of WDS within this. The agenda then continued over the
following two days with focussed discussions on a number of items of
strategic importance to ICSU-WDS, including finalizing a set of Data
Sharing Principles that are expected to be adopted in place of the current WDS
Data Policy
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=cf73c0c30d&e=cf85b312a2>
after
consultation with WDS Members.

A summary report of the 13th Meeting is in preparation and will be placed
on the Meeting Reports page

*22:00 UTC on 5 November 2015*, Professor Emile Okal (Department of
Geological Sciences at Northwestern University, Evanston, USA) will
present *Historical
Seismograms: Preserving an Endangered Species*
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=105aa8badc&e=cf85b312a2>,
the seventh talk in WDS' Webinar series.

Archived datasets of historical seismograms are extremely valuable to
understand the occurrence of large, destructive earthquakes. Unfortunately,
the value of these datasets is not always perceived. Professor Okal will
present a brief review of the nature of the datasets of seismological
archives, and of specific algorithms allowing their use. He will then
describe protocols for the transfer of analogue datasets to digital
supports. Finally, worldwide examples of existing collections, and of
successful programmes of digital archiving of valuable datasets will be
given.

10–29 August 2015, 29 trainees from 9 Asian countries attended a 20-day
training workshop in Bejing, China entitled the *International Workshop on
Northeast Asia–Central Asia Regional Resources and Environment Data Sharing*
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=3de5f073cd&e=cf85b312a2>.

by ICSU-WDS and the World Data Centre for Renewable Resources and

The training was set in a multidisciplinary context and addressed a broad
range of issues related to scientific data sharing, including policies,
standards, technologies, methods, and good practices from national,
regional, and international perspectives. On the final day, Dr Mustapha
Mokrane was invited to give a lecture on the development of ICSU-WDS and
the global data sharing landscape.

there was no central archive for IPY-related data. Instead they have been
spread widely, with a lot of the data published in research articles only.

A concerted effort among PANGAEA – Data Publisher for Earth and
Environmental Science
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=76420a6c72&e=cf85b312a2>

and ICSU-WDS was therefore undertaken to extract data resulting from IPY
publications for long-term preservation. From a list of 1380 references
provided by ICSTI, data—and associated metadata—were extracted from 450 IPY
articles. These data can be accessed from *here*

identified priority themes and key challenges in the domain of polar data
management (see here

for a Communiqué of the outcomes). Polar Data Forum II will further refine
these themes and priorities, and will accelerate progress by establishing
clear actions to address target issues, including: 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.
