Trusted Data Services for Global Science Certification
Trusted Data Services play a crucial role in global scientific research, encompassing geophysical/geodetic data analysis services, complex organizational structures, and international collaborations. Certification of Data Services ensures the quality and reliability of data products through a comprehensive assessment of operational components. Explore examples of WDS data services, such as IGS Data Centres, and understand the importance of certifying various aspects beyond just data repositories. Discover how certification enhances trustworthiness and credibility in scientific data services.

Trusted Data Services for Global Science Certification of Data Services Mustapha Mokrane WDS Executive Director mustapha.mokrane@icsu-wds.org RDA 7thPlenary, Tokyo, 29 February 2016
What are (WDS) Data Services? Geophysical/geodetic data analysis services More than a data centre: analysis centres, data products centres, etc. Complex organizational structures: networks, nodes, central bureau, governing boards, etc. Links with International Scientific Unions, Scientific Associations, UN bodies, etc. Complex but essential components of the data infrastructure serving scientific research!
Examples of (a WDS) Data Service? International Global Navigation Satellite System Service (IGS) GPS Satellite Ephemerides Satellite & Station Clocks Earth Rotation Atmospheric Parameters
Other Data Services? Weather and Climate: WMO Information System (WIS) and Data Collection or Production Centre for the World Weather Information Service [Hundreds of Data Repositories and National Weather Services] Mapping and Geological surveys: National Surveys and Internationalinitiatives likeOneGeology CGMW, IUGS and UNESCO Census data services: National and International like UNData Statistics Division (UNSD) Environmental data services: air pollution, water management, fisheries etc.
Why Certification of Data Services? The quality and reliability (trustworthiness) of data products is established through a chain of which the data repository is only one link! Certifying the repository function only is not enough Need to certify the other operational components: analysis centres, data products centres. Need for endorsement by relevant and authoritative science bodies IAG: Service Assessment Questionnaire
