The National Committee for Data in Science aims to enable Australian scientists to more effectively exploit the emerging data-rich research environment in order to conduct data-intensive research, and to represent and promote Australian science in international data science and data management forums.
The 2015 edition of Science International has developed an international accord on the values of open data in the emerging scientific culture of big data. The Accord recognises the need for an international framework of principles on “Open Data in a Big Data World” and proposes a comprehensive set of principles.
Science International is a series of regular meetings of four top-level representatives of international science: the International Council for Science (ICSU), the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC).
