A data management strategy for scientific research.

摘要

Since the mid 1980's, political and technological changes in UK scientific research have heightened awareness of the economic value and importance to scientific research of quality datasets and Environmental Information Systems (EIS). As a result of these changes, the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has funded more interdisciplinary Thematic Programmes. These programmes have highlighted the need for a coherent data management policy so that maximum long term gain is achieved by the science community. One such programme is the Land Ocean Interaction Study (LOIS). This is a pound30 million Programme that involves researchers from both UK public sector Institutes and Universities.
