WDS

At WDS, our mission includes supporting our member repositories by giving them a voice and making a positive impact in the data repository community through our actions. This page is designed to highlight our efforts, share our endorsements, and provide access to documents and policies that we have contributed to with valuable feedback and recommendations.

All feedback and endorsements are approved by the WDS Scientific Committee (SC), the governing body of the World Data System. The SC is composed of leading scientists and experts who are actively involved with data, ensuring that our contributions are both informed and impactful.

Our goal is to keep the data repository community informed about the initiatives we support and the work we do to advance meaningful change. Explore the subpages to learn more about our endorsements and read through the documents that reflect our commitment to making a difference.

Thank you for visiting and supporting our efforts!
