SIOS Core Data

Last updated: April 30, 2020

SIOS Core Data are Earth System Science data for Svalbard that fulfil the defined criteria of scientific requirements, data availability and collecting commitment.

Data that fulfil these criteria, but are not yet available online are defined as SIOS Core Data Candidates.

The criteria for SIOS Core Data were defined by the Science Optimisation Advisory Group and an associated task force.The criteria are based on standards of scientific excellence in the Earth System Science, in the SIOS 'legal' framework and the SIOS Data Policy.

Criteria for SIOS Core Data

Scientific requirements

SIOS core data are essential in answering the Earth System Science questions defined in the SIOS infrastructure optimisation report, and further update in SESS reports.

Data availability

SIOS core data should be available through the SIOS Data Management System (SDMS). SIOS core data candidates should be available as soon as possible and at latest one year after data collection.

Collecting commitment

For SIOS core data there should be a more than 5-year commitment from the providing institute to maintain the measurement and to make the data available through SDMS.

SIOS Core Data Categories

The first set of SIOS core data has been identified by the Science Optimisation Advisory Group, the Research Infrastructure Coordination Committee, and additonal scientific experts. Details will be published soon in the SIOS core data documentation (see right menu).
