China News Service, Shanghai, November 13 (Reporter Zheng Yingying) The Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Shanghai Municipal Data Bureau jointly released the "Shanghai Scientific Data Management Measures (Trial)" on the 13th. This is the first government document issued by Shanghai to specifically regulate scientific data management.
Scientific data refers to data generated in scientific research activities such as scientific research, observation and monitoring, and experimental testing. The above-mentioned management measures have seven chapters and 28 articles in total, making systematic provisions on the division of responsibilities, resource construction, development and utilization, confidentiality and security, and evaluation guarantees of scientific data. This approach is committed to strengthening and standardizing scientific data management in Shanghai and promoting the aggregation, governance, sharing and value-added application of high-quality scientific data resources.
The head of the relevant department of the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission said that in recent years, artificial intelligence has developed very rapidly, and the demand for high-quality data has increased significantly. In the field of scientific research, the industry has entered the stage of artificial intelligence-empowered scientific research (AI4S), which requires relevant guarantees from the institutional level.
The Shanghai Data Bureau also pointed out that artificial intelligence is currently reshaping the scientific research paradigm, and scientific data has become the core "fuel" for artificial intelligence-driven scientific discoveries. From the perspective of data elements, scientific data is a by-product of scientific research results and a basic resource that can be configured and added value.
It is reported that Shanghai is joining forces with Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui to build a scientific data sharing service platform in the Yangtze River Delta to promote the sharing and utilization of scientific data in Shanghai and even the Yangtze River Delta. (over)
