The Europlanet H2020 programme will develop a research infrastructure in Horizon 2020. The
programme in- cludes a follow-on to the FP7 activity aimed at developing the Planetary Science
Virtual Observatory (VO). This activity is called VESPA, which stands for Virtual European Solarand Planetary Access. Building on the IDIS ac- tivity of Europlanet FP7, VESPA will distribute moredata, will improve the connected tools and infrastructure, and will help developing a community ofboth users and data providers. One goal of the Europlanet FP7 programme was to set the basis for aEuropean Virtual Observatory in Planetary Science. A prototype has been set up during FP7, most of
the activity being dedicated to the definition of standards to handle data in this field. The aim
was to facilitate searches in big archives as well as sparse databases, to make on-line data accessand visualization possi- ble, and to allow small data providers to make their data available in aninteroperable environment with minimum effort. This system makes intensive use of studies anddevelopments led in Astronomy (IVOA), Solar Science (HELIO), plasma physics (SPASE), and spacearchive services (IPDA). It remains consistent with extensions of IVOA standards.

The Europlanet H2020 Research Infrastructure project has received funding from the European Union's
Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 654208.

We present our activities for sharing upper atmosphere data and promoting interdisciplinary studies
in the solar-terrestrial physics community. The upper atmosphere is characterized by the following
properties: (1) Both vertical coupling between the multiple spheres and global horizontal
circulation are essential. (2) There are a variety of data sets. (3) The long-term variation isimportant. Thus, collaboration and data sharing are necessary to understand the mechanism ofvarious phenomena in the upper atmosphere. On the other hand, there have been some issues in the
research of the upper atmosphere. Database has been built and maintained individually by each
university or institute, mainly by domain researchers, so it is often difficult to search andaccess data and the researchers are responsible for data sharing. In addition, since there are avariety of data sets, resulting in many types of file format, collection and analysis of data aretime consuming.
The IUGONET (Inter-university Upper atmosphere Global Observation NETwork) project started in
FY2009 to share the upper atmosphere data and promote interdisciplinary studies. We opened manykinds of ground-based observational data to the public via internet. We have developed metadata
database for cross-searching various kinds of the upper atmosphere data obtained by the IUGONET
members and analysis software for visualizing and analyzing these data. SPASE (Space Physics
Archive Search and Extract) metadata model was adopted as a basis of the IUGONET metadata format.
The IUGONET provided a plug-in software for SPEDAS (Space Physics Environment Data Analysis
Software), which is a grass-roots data analysis software based on IDL (Interactive Data Language)
for space physics community and supports multiple missions. We hold meetings for users of these
IUGONET data and tools about twice a year. In the presentation, we will introduce these IUGONET
activities and new plan to improve the metadata database system.

It is important to progress cross-cutting researches in geoscience to understand how the various
geophysical phenomena have influence on each other. However, it is not easy to check scientific
data for geoscientist in other fields because each area has been developing independently.
Therefore, we had built a new web service, C3 (Cross-Cutting Comparisons) for promotion of the datautilization. By the interactive interface, C3 reduces distances between the fields in geoscienceand provides a quick look viewer. In this presentation, we will talk about the system summary andfeatures of the service.

In the frame of the preparation of the NASA/JUNO and ESA/JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer)
missions, and the development of a planetary sciences virtual observatory (VO), we are proposing a
new set of tools directed to data providers as well as users, in order to ease data sharing anddiscovery. We will focus on ground based planetary radio observations (thus mainly Jupiter radio
emissions), trying for instance to enhance the temporal coverage of jovian decametric emission. The
data service we will be using is EPN-TAP, a planetary science data access protocol developed by
Europlanet-VESPA (Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access). This protocol is derived from IVOA
(International Virtual Observatory Alliance) standards. Data from all major decametric radio
instruments will contribute: Nançay Decameter Array (France), LOFAR (France, Sweden, Poland),
NenuFAR (France), URAN (Ukraine), LWA (USA), Iitate Radio Observatory (Japan), etc. Amateur radio
data from the RadioJOVE project is also available. The attached figure shows data from those threeproviders. We will first introduce the VO tools and concepts of interest for the planetary
radioastronomy community. We will then present the various data formats now used for such dataservices, as well as their associated metadata. We will finally show various prototypical toolsthat make use of this shared datasets.

Development status of Iitate Jovian radio wave data archive as a unit of integrated
archives of data from multiple ground stations for collaboration with Juno

Jovian radio emissions in decametric wavelength range (DAM, 20-40MHz) observed by ground stations
and spacecraft have brought us various information on Jovian magnetospheric activity: The source
field line of Io-related DAM is connected to Io in the inner magnetosphere. The energy of
Io-related DAM is supplied by Io-Jupiter current system. The source field line of Non-Io-related
DAM is connected to the outer magnetosphere. The intensity of non-Io-related DAM seems to beaffected by the interaction between the outer magnetosphere and solar wind.
The merit of the ground-based observations is that high sensitivity antenna and high time
resolution receiver can be employed without limitations of the equipment mass and downlink data
rate, which often becomes issues in spacecraft observations. On the other hand, the demerit of theground-based observation with single station is coverage: The ground station cannot observe Jovian
radio emission while the Jupiter is below the horizon. However, this demerit can be solved by
combining datasets from multiple stations in different longitude range. Virtual Observatory (VO)
could be a promising solution for such combined data analyses. In preparation of the collaborative
ground-based radio wave observation with Juno, which will start the in-situ observations of the
Jovian polar magnetosphere in this summer, the researchers working on ground-based observations ofJovian radio wave in Europe, US, and Japan started collaborations such as having a new support
portal for collaborative planning of ground-based observations.
Wideband radio spectrogram data obtained at Iitate observatory since 2004 in CDF format have been
provided via Iitate HF radio wave data archive. In addition, we finished setup of a new repository
server for VO interface at Tohoku University in 2015 with supports of Paris Observatory team. This
server will be the first step for integrated browsing of the Jovian radio wave data from multiple
ground stations via VO interface, which will be useful also for collaborative studies of Jovian
polar magnetosphere with supports of JSPS Bilateral Program "Coordinated observational andtheoretical researches for Jovian and Kronian auroral radio emissions" between France and Japan. We
also plan to add information on Jupiter's synchrotron radio observation made at the Iitate
observatory into the VO repository server in near future.

How to make the data sets in “dark long tail” open and preserve?
*Toshihiko Iyemori1
1.Data Analysis Center for Geomagnetism and Space Magnetism, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto
University
In data analysis, we often encounter the difficulty by lack of data and try to find additional data
sets by asking researchers in the same research community. Sometimes, we can reach the data set
suitable to fill the gap of data or we find unexpected data set which is very useful. However, inmost cases, we cannot find the data. We know that there are a huge number of datasets—mainly
obtained on a research project basis—that are not registered to active data centres, and hence are'dark' to many of us. These datasets are typically built by small research groups for a limited
period, and data are not open for public. Although they exist only for a limited period, such data
are very important and useful if the location of observation site is highly unique, or if otherobservations are not available.
One way to make such data sets open from the 'dark long tail' is to register metadata that describe
the observations in as much detail as possible. An example of this in practice is IUGONET(Interuniversity Upper atmosphere Global Observation NETwork), which has a common database of
metadata and forms a virtual data centre of distributed databases at several institutions. Thisdata system includes databases from the 'dark long tail', as well as large well-known databases.
Another way is to use university repositories. However, in this case, we need a common method tofind and retrieve the data set.

Current status and challenges of open data in biodiveristy field*Utsugi Jinbo1
1.National Museum of Nature and Science
Biodiversity informatics is a research field aiming to share species-level biodiversity data,
including taxon names and occurrence records based on specimens or observations. Such data is
indispensable for many kind of activities relevant to biodiversity, researches, plannings forbiodiversity conservations, and cultural activities. Until now, global projects, such as the Global
Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), provide frameworks to accumulate and share biodiversity
data. Recently, people realized that biodiversity data should be open to facilitate and promote thedata reuse. GBIF decided to change dataset licenses to the Creative Commons License, and many
project have been launched to publish biodiversity data openly available (e.g. iDigBio,
pro-iBiosphere, and Atlas of Living Australia). Open-access journals directly linked tobiodiversity databases are also good solutions to make the data open.
In Japan, only small amounts of resources on biodiversity have been hitherto openly published. Mostof them depend on individual efforts. The author has been published taxon name databases as open
data by the assistance of GBIF Japan Node. In addition, some projects are also currently inprogress. Linked Open Data for ACademia (LODAC) is a project to publish academic data in Linked
Open Data (LOD) format. Both of taxon and occurrence data are converted and stored in LOD format,
and linked to other LOD data such as DBPedia. The openly published records are used as a corecomponent of the biodiversity LOD.
Many people still have difficulty to openly publish their data. One issue is there are no culturesand incentives to encourage open data publications. A data citation system like that for scientificpapers using Digital Object Identifier (DOI), and a data paper publication framework could besolutions for this issue, though there have not been any evaluation systems in researchcommunities. Another issue is a risk of the publication of sensitive data, that is, distribution
records of endangered or commercially valuable species. The improvement of data interoperability
between biodiversity and other fields is also a challenge for the future.
In this presentation, the author will show the current progress of open data activities on
biodiversity information in Japan, and discuss on future challenges and collaborations.

International collaboration for a trustworthy research data infrastructure*Mustapha Mokrane1, Hugo Wim2, Ingrid Dillo3, Sandra (Sandy) Harrison4

Today’s research is international, transdisciplinary, and data-enabled, which requires scrupulous
data stewardship, full and open access to data, and efficient collaboration and coordination. New
expectations on researchers based on policies from governments and funders to share data fully,
openly, and in a timely manner present significant challenges but are also opportunities to improve
the quality and efficiency of research and its accountability to society. Researchers should be
able to archive and disseminate data as required by many institutions or funders, and civil society
to scrutinize datasets underlying public policies. Thus, the trustworthiness of data services must
be verifiable. In addition, the need to integrate large and complex datasets across disciplines anddomains with variable levels of maturity calls for greater coordination to achieve sufficientinteroperability and sustainability.
The World Data System (WDS) of the International Council for Science (ICSU) promotes long-term
stewardship of, and universal and equitable access to, quality-assured scientific data and services
across a range of disciplines in the natural and social sciences. WDS aims at coordinating andsupporting trusted scientific data services for the provision, use, and preservation of relevant
datasets to facilitate scientific research, in particular under the ICSU umbrella, whilestrengthening their links with the research community.
WDS certifies its Members, holders and providers of data or data products, using internationallyrecognized standards. Certification of scientific data services is essential to ensure
trustworthiness of the global research data infrastructure. It contributes to building asearchable, distributed, interoperable and sustainable research data infrastructure. Several
certification standards have been developed over the last decade (NESTORseal, DIN standard 31644,
TRAC and ISO 16363.) In addition, the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) and WDS have set up corecertification mechanisms for trusted digital repositories in 2009, which are increasingly
recognized as de facto standards. While DSA emerged in Europe in the Humanities and Social
Sciences, WDS started as an international initiative with historical roots in the Earth and Space
Sciences. Their catalogues of requirements and review procedures are based on the same principles
of openness and transparency. A unique feature of both DSA and WDS certifications is that it
strikes a balance between simplicity, robustness and the effort required to complete.
A successful international cross-project collaboration was initiated between WDS and DSA under theumbrella of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), an international initiative started in 2013 topromote data interoperability which provided a useful and neutral forum. A joint working group wasestablished in early 2014 to reconcile and simplify the array of certification options and improveand stimulate core certification for scientific data services. The outputs of this collaboration
are a Catalogue of Common Requirements (https://goo.gl/LJZqDo) and a Catalogue of Common Procedures(https://goo.gl/vNR0q1) which will be implemented jointly by WDS and DSA.

Recent activity of DOI-minting to solar-terrestrial physics data in Japan*Masahito Nose1, Yasuhiro Murayama2, Takenari Kinoshita2, Yukinobu Koyama3, Michi Nishioka4, Mamoru

1.Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, 2.Integrated Science Data System ResearchLaboratory, NICT, 3.Transdisciplinary Research Integration Center, 4.Space Weather and Environment
Laboratory, NICT, 5.WDS-International Program Office/NICTThe Japanese government has found an importance of "Open Science" and is now going to promote its
associated activities in Japan. In the end of March 2015, a report entitled "Promoting Open Sciencein Japan" was published by the expert panel on Open Science, based on Global Perspectives, Cabinet
Office. According to the report, research data should be made openly available, although they are
subject to constraints that ensure ethical, legal, and commercial protections. To accelerate data
availability, it is needed to prepare data identifiers, such as digital object identifiers (DOIs),
and to foster a practice of citation for research data. This is because the citation for researchdata provides the following benefits: (1) Readers can more easily locate the data used in thepaper, obtain necessary information of the data (i.e., metadata), and validate the findings of thepaper; (2) readers can also easily discover datasets which are relevant to their interests but havenot been noticed; and (3) data contributors/data centers can gain professional recognition andrewards for their labors to publish and manage data set in the same way as for traditional
publications.
Recognizing the importance of data citation, World Data Centers (WDCs) in Japan including WDC for
Geomagnetism (Kyoto University) and WDC for Ionosphere and Space Weather (National Institute ofInformation and Communications Technology) started discussion to mint DOI to their own database inAugust 2013. The discussion finds that Japan Link Center (JaLC) is a proper agency to register
DOI-URL mapping, because JaLC aims at public information services to promote science and technology
in Japan and it handles scientific and academic metadata and content from holders nationwide,
including national institutes and universities. We develop a web-based system to register metadata
with JaLC and to create landing pages of data, to which DOIs are mapped. The system can handle
version of the landing pages when the data are updated. JaLC started a 1-year pilot program to mint
DOI to the database from October 2014. We have been participating in the program, resulting in DOIs
for the mesospheric wind velocity data observed with MF radar at Poker Flat, Alaska(doi:10.17591/55838dbd6c0ad) and the geomagnetic Dst index (doi:10.17593/14515-74000). These are
the first practices of the DOI-minting to scientific data in Japan. One of these DOIs is even citedin a paper by Kinoshita et al. (2015), providing the first example of data citation in Japan.
We will present our activities of DOI-minting to solar-terrestrial physics data in Japan anddiscuss its future perspective.

How open scientific research data transform transdisciplinary research: a theoreticaldebate*Yasuhisa Kondo1
1.Research Institute for Humanity and Nature
The mention of the open scientific research data (hereafter referred to as “OSRD”) in the 2013 G8Science Ministers Statement promoted the acceptance of open science, that was defined as “efforts
to make the output of publicly funded research more widely accessible in digital format to thescientific community, the business sector, or society more generally” in the OECD report issued in
October 2015 [1]. This definition means that the concepts of OSRD is a keystone of open science andshould be applied to all fields of sciences, including fieldwork-based sciences such as cultural
anthropology and forest ecology, as well as laboratory- and observation-based “big data” sciences(e.g., genome science and astronomy). It is noteworthy that recent field science projects reflect
the gradual transformation from individual discipline-oriented approaches to collaborative,
integrative, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary ones. Moreover, “transdisciplinary”
approaches, in which societal stakeholders such as governments, business industries, non-profit
organizations, and local residents are involved in issue-driven research projects through a processof co-designing research agendas, co-producing knowledge, and co-disseminating perspectives,
evidence, and knowledge [2], play an important role in implementing solutions to global-scaleissues at a local community. It seems that the concepts of OSRD and transdisciplinary approaches
are heading in the same direction toward sharing data sources and research outcomes withresearchers and stakeholders for making better decisions to transform society. This paper discusses
how OSRD will benefit transdisciplinary approaches through accelerating scientific and social
innovations by involving non-conventional research agents such government staff, local residents,
skilled volunteers (pro bonos), science communicators, and researchers based at different fields ofresearch.

JpGU has been facilitating sessions related to data and information topics in past meetings,
convened by groups/communities with interdisciplinary interests including scientific data centers,
data systems, data sciences, and social network services. New dimensions and cross-disciplinary
subjects are expected for further contribution to advancing the earth and planetary sciences. Open
Research Data and Open Science are increasingly becoming hot topics, in parallel to establishment
of ICSU-WDS (2008), G8 Open Data Charter (2013), deployment of RDA (2013), and so forth. RDA isespecially concerned with common e-infrastructure. In this digital era, if Open Science practices
become daily reality, e-infrastructure or common digital environment will be necessary platform formany research activities. E-infrastructure is becoming a hot topics in G8 GSO (Group of G8 Country
Senior Officials) meeting, OECD Open Global Science Forum, Belmont Forum (an international group offunding agencies/funders for global environmental issues). Future Earth, an international new
initiative for global environment and the planet earth led by International Council for Science,created a Data Task Force for discussing data sharing and open data/science issues. European
Commission has set up High Level Expert Group of European Open Science Cloud (HLEG-EOSC). HLEG-EOSC
give the advice to an EC Commissioner (ministerial person) for setting up the EOSC initiative andnew call for proposal. EOSC is intended to the infrastructure of global open science, which willcontribute to European data sharing and communications on digital infrastructure. Promotion andacceleration of European digital economy, under the EC's vision of Single Digital Market, will besupported by activities of Open Science and Open Innovation.

The objective of this Task is to identify user requirements, develop the way to implement event
alerts, and chain those to the 1) planetary event and 2) planetary space weather predictions. The
expected service of alerts will be developed with the objective to facilitate discovery or
prediction announcements within the PSWD user community in order to watch or warn against specific
events. The ultimate objective is to set up dedicated amateur and/or professional observation
campaigns, diffuse contextual information for science data analysis, and enable safety operationsof planet-orbiting spacecraft against the risks of impacts from meteors or solar wind disturbances.
OBSPARIS and UCL will study and adapt VOEvent to those purposes. CNRS-IRAP and SRC will study theway to implement VOEvent as a service for the PSWS tools (Planetary Space Weather Services). The

Seismic data viewer on a web browser for WIN and WIN32 format, using HTML5 and JavaScript*Takanori Matsuzawa1
1.National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention
In Japan, WIN and WIN32 format are widely used to record, collect and store seismic data. Web siteof Hi-net, NIED provides seismic data of Hi-net and other institutes in the WIN32 format, which isextended from the original WIN format to handle data from many institutes and networks.
Applications to check and decode this format data are provided from each institute. However,installation is required as these official programs are written in C language. This is sometimes
not convenient, for example, in the case of using a temporal environment or travelling outside.
Using HTML5 and JavaScript, I have developed a web application which enables us to check the WIN
and WIN32 data in various situations.
This application can check the contents of WIN and WIN32 format file and display waveform data.
Basic usage of this application is just to choose WIN and WIN32 files using a select button. Then,
waveform data is displayed in the panel within the browser. Duration and displayed stations can beselected and changed at the details field within the browsing window. If a channel table file is
specified, information of station, component, and physical amplitude is reflected in the panel.
WIN system contains some programs to handle the content of a WIN file. “wck” in the WIN system is atool to check the content of channels. “dewin” in the WIN system is a tool to decode the seismic
data of a specified channel from a WIN format file. This web application has similar functions tothese two programs, when these operations are specified within the details field. I note thatorganization ID and network ID information are displayed for WIN32 files. This is a newly added
feature to the original “wck” program.
This application is, however, sometimes slow in the case of handling large files which is larger
than several tens of megabytes. Memory usage should be improved in the future. In addition,
appearance should be also refined for better user experiences.
This web application enables us to view the content of WIN and WIN32 files, using only a single
HTML file. As typical recent web browsers (e.g., IE11, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari) supports HTML5
and JavaScript, installation of any other programs is not necessary in such an environment withthese browser. In addition, this application also works without internet connection. Copying thishtml file to a PC is just a necessary preparation to use this program even in that case. This
program will enables us to use WIN/WIN32 files in various scenes, and makes WIN and WIN32 format
more convenient.

The idea of Open Science combines the Open Data, Open Access and further more open principles andactivities for an improved domain specific but also cross-domain and interoperable usage ofscientific data and appropriate publications, methods, software, etc. Scientific collaborationaccording to the Open Science principles is also opening the chance to return to a holistic
approach integrating science and humanities. In order to get the maximum benefit from theprinciples of Open Science a change of scientific and administrative culture is still necessary as
well as a transparent and secure access to data, information and knowledge. Data scientists could
play an important role in the management of the whole data life cycle but also the cross-domain
integration of data and publication. Scientific libraries should assume the tasks of an
institutional body for all activities around a sustainable management of scientific data andappropriate value added services in Open Science.
Beside the discussion of general topics of this concept, the results and challenges of aninternational project for the integration of proprietary data server via semantic mashup of datacatalogs in the geoscience and space domain are addressed in this presentation.

The loss of biodiversity and its impact on ecosystem functions and services are the biggest
environmental issues. It needs to assess present status of biodiversity and ecosystems to addressthese problems. In addition, many kinds of environmental information such as biodiversity,
ecological, climatological and geographical data are required for developing indicators that are
effective in assessing the conditions of biodiversity and ecosystems. However, most existing data
are not comprehensively available because they are scattered among many various databases that are
independent of each other. Therefore, our Green Network of Excellence - environmental information(GRENE-ei) project aimed to manage metadata about biodiversity and ecosystem information at thefirst. We connected existing metadata databases through cooperation with Japan Long Term EcologicalResearch Network (JaLTER) and Data Integration and Analysis System (DIAS). JaLTER Metacat(http://db.cger.nies.go.jp/JaLTER/) provides information such as location, availability and formatof ecological observation data in Japan. We created the data element mappings between JaLTER and
DIAS metadata formats and integrated JaLTER metadata catalogue into the search and discovery system
for DIAS datasets (http://dias-dss.tkl.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ddc/). The next step was accumulation of
biodiversity and ecosystems data. We collected observational data from separate layers such as
species distribution, community structure, ecosystem and flux. One of the main data sources at the
species and community levels is the vegetation survey data conducted by The Ministry of theEnvironment, Japan. Using the output of this survey, the plant distribution database including
718,211 records with 4,683 species names was developed. The data format of this species occurrence
database was compliant with the Darwin Core (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/) in order to maximize
interoperability. The third step was the creation of spatial interpolated distribution datasets ofspecies and community. We constructed the species distribution models (SDMs) of each plant bothfrom the occurrence data mentioned above and environmental factors (such as climate, topography,
geography and land cover data), and predicted the potential distributions of species suitable
habitats in Japan. These interpolated datasets of plant species and community distribution would be
an indispensable infrastructure for mapping the potential distribution of organisms that interact
with plants, such as herbivore insects. Our main achievements, particularly interpolated datasetsof plants, are preparing publication through DIAS data archives.
