Construction and practice of National Basic Science Data Center
In the era of digital intelligence,scientific data,as one of the country's important strategic resources and production factors,will provide significant momentum for the enhancement of national technological level and economic development.European and American countries have earlier accumulated,effectively managed,and preserved scientific data,and formulated a series of policies related to scientific data management and open sharing,which have contributed to the development of technological innovation.In 2018,the General Office of the State Council issued the"Scientific Data Management Measures",and the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance supported the establishment of 20 national scientific data centers.Among them,the only National Basic Science Data Center(referred to as"NBSDC")led by a team with computer backgrounds was officially established,aiming to collect and manage scientific data accumulated through long-term scientific research activities in China's basic disciplines and typical regions,as well as scientific data submitted by government budget-funded projects in related basic fields.It possesses the characteristics of being fundamental,multidisciplinary,and cutting-edge.Positive results have been achieved based on nearly five years of NBSDC's construction and practice.Firstly,a rich basic discipline data resource system has been established,enhancing the disciplinary support capability,with a total data volume exceeding 2.95 PB.Secondly,a data policy and standard system has been built,releasing multiple national and group standards,promoting the continuous accumulation,integration,orderly preservation,and open sharing of scientific data.Thirdly,the G-FAIR principle that conforms to China's national conditions has been proposed,and a diversified and multi-dimensional service system has been constructed,ensuring that international FAIR principles are followed while ensuring data security and controllability.Fourthly,continuous in-depth thinking and active exploration have been conducted in the areas of aggregating quality resources,automating acquisition,and embedding into research workflows,and building a technological system and integrated data infrastructure to promote data fusion applications.Fifthly,international cooperation and exchanges in scientific data have been deepened,with professional academic platforms built through international organizations and academic conferences,accelerating the construction of cross-border data sharing ecosystems.Overall,a comprehensive basic discipline data resource system has been formed,as well as a standard system,service system,and technological system that support the unified management,integration,analysis,mining,and application services of distributed scientific data resources.At the same time,new modes of scientific data publication have been innovated,leading to efficient aggregation,open sharing,cross-disciplinary integration analysis,and innovative applications of scientific data.In the future,related work will be carried out such as the construction of high-quality datasets in basic disciplines,innovation in data governance service models,and cross-disciplinary integration applications.This article summarizes the construction model and practical achievements of the national public scientific data center for basic disciplines,aiming to provide general references for the construction and operation of scientific data management institutions.
