World Data Center for HumanInteractions in the EnvironmentLCLUC Science Team MeetingHigh Latitudes in the Context of the International Polar YearSocial Science Data for High Latitudes2 May 2008Dr. Robert S. ChenDirector and Senior Research Scientist, CIESINManager, NASA Socioeconomic Data & Applications CenterSecretary-General, CODATA
Main Sources of Socioeconomic Data Data Types– Censuses, surveys, registries– Administrative & transactionalrecords– Ground-based studies & surveys– In situ sensors, monitors– Field reports, records– Press reports– Maps World Data Center for HumanInteractions in the EnvironmentData Sources– Governments Multinational agencies (UN) National-level governmentagencies State and local– Nongovernmental organizations– Research communities– Business2
Traditional View of the World by Country 192 United Nationsmember states, rangingfrom:– Tuvalu with 10,000people and just 32 km2– China with 1.28 billionpeople and 9.2 millionkm2– Russia with 16.7million km2 Subnational data moredifficult to collect andcompare– Szechuan Province ofChina about same sizeand population asFranceWorld Data Center for HumanInteractions in the Environment
Subnational Administrative Boundary andPopulation Density DataWorld Data Center for HumanInteractions in the Environment
Arctic Urban Extents from GRUMPWorld Data Center for HumanInteractions in the Environment GRUMP Global Rural Urban Mapping Project Combines stable night lights with administrative boundary and population– Settlement points– Urban extents– Urban-rural gridded population density5

GEOSS RegistryWorld Data Center for HumanInteractions in the Environment29
Agreed GEO Data Sharing PrinciplesWorld Data Center for HumanInteractions in the Environment There will be full and open exchange of data, metadata, andproducts shared within GEOSS, recognizing relevant internationalinstruments and national policies and legislation. All shared data, metadata, and products will be made available withminimum time delay and at minimum cost. All shared data, metadata, and products being free of charge or nomore than cost of reproduction will be encouraged for research andeducation.GEOSS 10-Year Implementation Plan, adopted 16 February 2005(emphasis added)30
CODATA’s Role in GEOWorld Data Center for HumanInteractions in the Environment In 2006, CODATAagreed to take on GEOTask DA-06-01– Task extended into 2007-09GEO Work Plan Task web site available at:– http://www.codata.org/GEOSS31
Proposed Guidelines in 8 AreasWorld Data Center for HumanInteractions in the Environment1) Promoting implementation of the GEOSS Data Sharing Principles through thefull and open exchange of data2) Encouraging GEOSS users to reuse and re-disseminate shared data3) Ensuring consistency with other national laws and policies and internationalagreements4) Implementing pricing policies consistent with the GEOSS Data SharingPrinciples5) Reducing the time delays for making data available through GEOSS6) Promoting research and education uses of GEOSS data7) Developing metrics and indicators for GEOSS data sharing activities8) Developing effective coordination and outreach mechanisms forimplementing the GEOSS Data Sharing Principles32
