... of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine organized a symposium to explore these issues. Invited experts from China, Europe, and the United States were asked to: • Review proposed science data infrastructure projects around the globe; • Highlight, compare, and contrast the plans and capabilities of these projects; and • Discuss the critical success factors for implementation and the role of international cooperation for scientific data management.

... Change is occurring. In Europe, FAIR principles, and what is known as the Internet of FAIR Data and Services, are gaining political traction, including a statement issued at the September 2016 G20 Summit to "promote open science and facilitate appropriate access to publicly funded research results."2 In October 2017, the G7 issued a statement supporting the funding of the information infrastructure.3 As a general guideline, an average of 5 percent in a research proposal budget should be dedicated to data stewardship, and every proposal should have a data stewardship plan.

... Key policy players and research funders, in addition to the Ministry of Science and Technology and Chinese Academy of Sciences, include the China Association of Science and Technology and National Natural Science Foundation. Key promoters for open data include the National Science and Technology Infrastructure Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CODATA China and WDS China.

... NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH ACTIVITIES Symposium chair James Hendler highlighted NIH data-sharing activities in the absence of the scheduled speaker, who was unable to attend. Current challenges include the generation of large volumes of biomedical data, which are inexpensive to generate but costly to store on local servers.
From page 5...
... The NIH Data Commons Pilot is underway to allow access, use, and sharing of large, high-value biomedical data in the cloud. EMERGING EFFORTS FOR SCIENCE DATA INFRASTRUCTURE Amy Brand, MIT Press, moderated a panel on the National Science Foundation's (NSF's)
From page 6...
... RESEARCH COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVES The final panel of the symposium, moderated by Sarah Nusser of Iowa State University, looked at issues and opportunities arising from current and future data-sharing efforts. Licensing Model and Ecosystem of Data Sharing Jane Greenberg, Drexel University, pointed out that shared data in closed environments have played and will continue to play a role in science and other fields.

... Another commented that data science programs need to train the next generation of data stewards. "One size does not fit all," the participant commented.
