Study On The Building Of Agricultural Science Data Resources In China

Scientific data resources is the basis of scientific data sharing, and the development of agricultural science data resources is the core content for the construction of agricultural science data centre. The scientific data sharing project initiated by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2001, based on the established network and policies, is one of the mega projects of scientific data resources development.This study is one of the components for the program of agriculture scientific data sharing under the project of scientific data sharing initiated by the Ministry of Science and Technology. The objective of this study is to develop frame ideas for agriculture scientific data resources development as per the requirement of agriculture scientific data sharing and the problems encountered in agriculture science data resources construction, based on the theories of information resources management.In this study, basic principles, frame tasks, micro organization and macro integration of scientific data sharing and agriculture scientific data management, and the policies concerning scientific data resources development were systematically analyzed. Based on the definition of the basic concepts of agriculture scientific data resources construction, classification and integration for agriculture scientific data resources construction were discussed.1. The basic concept of the construction of scientific data resources was definitedBased on the analysis and comparison studies on the theories of information resources management in library sciences and information sciences, and under the internet circumstances, the construction of scientific data resources was definited as the whole process and all activities of the digitalized, standards, network scientific data resources system through micro classification and macro integration as per the need of scientific data sharing.2. An agriculture scientific data classification system with 24 categories was proposedBased on the concepts of classification, faceted classification and division and the experiences from classification of internet information, agriculture information and scientific data, An agriculture scientific data classification system with 24 categories was proposed According to the characteristics of current agriculture scientific data classification.3. Four basic methods and the strategies for the integration of agricultural scientific data resources were developedFour basic methods and the strategies for the integration of agricultural scientific data resources were developed, which include policy integration, economic integration, technical integration and cooperative integration.The key strategy for agricultural scientific data resources integration include:(1) setting up the platform for agricultural scientific data sharing and to establish agriculture scientific data center;(2) setting up agricultural scientific data branch centre according to government administration and the natural geographic location, setting up agricultural scientific data station based on the principle of discipline development and administration district;(3) to realize systematic distribution of agricultural scientific data resources and sustainable development of agricultural scientific data management through integrated policy, economic, technical and cooperative approach.This study targets closely the needs of construction of agricultural scientific data center. The concepts and ideas developed in the study will have a great value both in theory and application of agricultural scientific data resources management.
