GEOSS Data Sharing Principles Implementation...

Success during the second decade of GEO will be measured by how much progress GEO demonstrates in supporting solutions to problems associated with the Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs). This will imply establishing the overall activity as a true “data commons" where data are shared openly and made actionable for collective innovation, including for trans-disciplinary applications. The full implementation of the GEOSS Data Sharing Principles is an essential step towards maximising the net societal and economic benefits of the global investment by GEO Members and Participating Organisations in GEOSS.
