Polar Environment Data Science Center (PEDSC) is one of the centersin the Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research (DS) of the
Research Organization of Information and Systems (ROIS).
Purpose of the PEDSC is to promote the opening and sharing of the dataobtained in polar regions.
Activities of the PEDSC have been carried out along the following
categories since FY2017:
To construct an unified database system to cover all the data in all the
research fields of polar science.
To make the existing database systems (Science Database, ADS,IUGONET) upgraded and interoperable with each other.
To promote archiving, opening, and sharing of the time series digital datain each research field.
To promote archiving, opening, and sharing of the sample data in eachresearch field.
To promote publication of the scientific data, using the Polar Data Journalof NIPR.
To promote collaboration with universities and other institutions in Japanand international communities.
To promote data science using the database and database system.
