Norwegian Polar Institute • Directorate under the Ministry of the Environment • Norway's central institution for scientific research, environmental monitoring and mapping of the polar regions. • Scientific and strategic advisor to the Norwegian Government on polar issues.
Mandated Tasks • Scientific research on • the climate system (cryosphere, ocean, processes) • climate change and its effects on the polar ecosystems • biodiversity (polar, marine) • ecotoxicology • Logistics provider for Antarctic research programmes • Programmes and systems for environmental monitoring • Geological and topographic mapping • Strategic advice to the Government on polar issues • Circumpolar cooperation in the Arctic and Antarctica • Uphold Norwegian legal regulations mandated by the Antarctic Treaty
Facilities & Logistics • Fieldwork, data collection and logistics support in the Arctic and Antarctic • Norwegian Antarctic Research Expeditions (NARE) • Research vessel Lance • Sverdrup Station • Troll Station • NADC
National Developments • New government guidelines • Norstore • Public data license • DOKIPY • SIOS, Inspire vs DIF
Government Guidelines • «Provide access to suitable, existing raw data on machine-readable formats» • Information of public value, that can be reused, not restricted, limited costs • Free for use by external service providers • Publish on the web (data.norge.no) • In the science domain: Norstore • 4 Universities • IPY legacy data
Open Data License (NLOD) • Currently being introduced for government agencies: • Single option • Attribution • Work (information, data) offered as-is • CC BY compatible
SIOS • Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System • European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) • Comprising «Knowledge Centre» and (integrated) Data Management System • Developing a data policy based on IPY principles • Existing data centres • Metadata harvesting • Standards?

Harvesting by AMD • DOKIPY OAI-PMH data provider • Stable metadata population at AMD? • Controlled vocabulary issues • Locations and science keywords ok • Data centres and projects require manual intervention • Users must be allowed to enter new names not listed • New names are replaced with GCMD valids before OAI-PMH exposure • New projects/data centres not listed at GCMD require manual update • Convoluted validation
