  2. National Consultation on Access to Scientific Data March 2005Almost fifty years ago, the great writer and futurist H. G. Wells was very close to capturing both the development of the Internet and World-Wide Web, and their potential impact on knowledge and research. “Few people as yet, outside the world of expert librarians and museum curators and so forth, know how manageable well-ordered facts can be made, however multitudinous, and how swiftly and completely even the rarest visions and the most recondite matters can be recalled, once they have been put in place in a well-ordered scheme of reference and reproduction.”– H. G. Wells “World Brain: The Idea of a Permanent World Encyclopaedia” Contribution to the new Encyclopédie FrançaiseAugust 1937

  3. NCASRD’s Vision of Canada’s place in the global research enterprise of 2020. Canada is the centre of a global knowledge grid. It has become the desired nation with which to partner in research, because of its national system of open access to research data. Through this system and the collaborative culture it has generated, Canadian creativity and innovation are best in class worldwide. Open, but secure, access to powerful and globally assembled data has transformed scientific research. Researchers routinely analyze problems of previously unimaginable complexity in months, rather than decades, leading to revelations of knowledge and discovery that have enriched quality of life, transformed healthcare, improved social equality, provided greater security, broadened decision perspectives for social, environmental, and economic policy and advancement, and transformed the advancement of human knowledge.

  4. Data Canada, Recommendation 13 Research councils, and all other public-sector research funding agencies and departments require that project and grant applications include a data management plan, as well as specifically identified funding that will ensure quality, integrity, accessibility and accountability. A funding condition should be the inclusion of a well-constructed plan for data acquisition, management, access and preservation. Adherence to such plans should also become a non-competitive performance metric for the project and gateway for subsequent grant applications. Councils should recognize these as added costs to the main thrusts of research projects.

  6. Objectives Develop capabilities for monitoring and understanding regional and larger scale variations in cryospheric variables of importance to Canada - temporal change = historical archives Improve understanding of the role of the cryosphere in the climate system - multivariable data sets Promoting the assembly, maintenance and analysis of key historical, operational and research cryospheric data sets to support climate monitoring and model validation - access to information and rescue of historical information

  7. Milestones 2001 - Established a working FGDC metadata catalogue accessible through WWW via CCIN and GeoConnections by using the Z39.50 protocol 2002 - Established all CRYSYS web services at the University of Waterloo handling data warehousing, current information publication, education and outreach content through ccin.ca, socc.ca, crysys.ca 2003 - Launched a new national snow information service called: The National Snow Information System for Water 2004 - Created new online tools and services for real-time data mining (snow and SWE data) 2005 - Launched new outreach programs directed toward the general public: SOCC for Kids, and the Cryosphere Learning Centre
