The digital revolution offers profound opportunities for science to discover hitherto unsuspected patterns and relationships in nature and society, on scales from the nanoscale to the cosmic, from local health systems to global sustainability. It has created the potential for the disciplines of science to achieve more holistic understanding of the complexity that underlies the challenges that confront humanity by exposing their deep structure through the integration of data across relevant disciplines.
The International Science Council's (ISC) CODATA Data Integration Project is tackling how integrating diverse data from globally distributed sources can help to combat infectious diseases, natural disasters and to build resilient and adaptive cities, and how it can tie these solutions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The project is preparing the ground for a major ISC and CODATA initiative to advance ‘data-driven interdisciplinarity' to address global challenges.
This lecture is co-hosted by the Australian Research Data Commons, the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian National University.
Refreshments will be served from 5.30 pm, with the talk 6.00 pm-7.00 pm.
Simon Hodson has been Executive Director of CODATA since August 2013.
Simon is an expert on data policy issues and research data management. As part of his CODATA role, he is closely involved in a CODATA initiative to improve the coordination of standards for data integration and interoperability for interdisciplinary research and in the coordination of the CODATA Data Policy Committee.
He has contributed to influential reports on Current Best Practice for Research Data Management Policies and to the Science International Accord on Open Data in a Big Data World. Most recently he chaired the European Commission’s Expert Group on FAIR Data which produced the report Turning FAIR into Reality. He also leads or participants in numerous projects, working groups and steering groups, including the following:
