Establishing a sound scientific data ecosystem through the implementation of a data element policy

Abstract

It has been widely recognized that data have become a basic and strategic resource at home and abroad, ranking as a production factor with land, labor, capital and technology. Scientific data are an important part of data elements. High-quality scientific data are a necessary strategic resource to promote the development of science and technology. Focusing on the characteristics of scientific data (e.g. openness, multi-level integration and evolution, and scientific data life cycle management), this paper analyzes the development and problems of scientific data in China, and puts forward comprehensive suggestions on establishing a sound scientific data ecosystem. By establishing and improving the data basic policy system, building a multi-agent governance framework, and strengthening the capacity of scientific data infrastructure and talent training, the paper aims to gradually create a virtuous circle of scientific data production, utilization, sharing and reuse.
