 Stimulate collaboration between SCOSTEP andWDS in long-term archiving and opening ofquality-assessed data produced by VarSITI andrelated programs
 Build a “feed-back loop” between data
providers (+archivers) and data users
 Introduce advanced information technologies
to data-oriented activities under VarSITI
