Abstract:

Earth system science is an interdisciplinary research area at the frontier of interaction and change mechanisms between the earth's spheres. The research area has accumulated scientific data resources through long-term research on global environmental change and human-earth relationships. To promote the sharing and flow of earth system science data resources and realize their value-added, the National Earth System Science Data Center reflects on the organization and methods of earth system science data sharing since the beginning of the 21st century. Building on the successful development and construction of the Earth System Science Data Sharing Network in China and the National Earth System Science Data Sharing Infrastructure in China, the National Earth System Science Data Center has become one of 20 national science data centers recognized by the Chinese government in 2019, evidencing a major leap from its initiation, and from domestic to international. This paper traces the origins of earth system science and reviews the development of the National Earth System Science Data Center in China. The paper then summarizes the research practices of the National Earth System Science Data Center in earth system science data sharing, highlighting data sharing for standard system construction, data resource management and sharing, and system platform construction, as well as research progress on key technologies and sharing services. Finally, suggestions are offered for sustainable development by the National Earth System Science Data Center .

Key words: earth system, scientific data, data center, data management methods, data sharing, data infrastructure, scientific data management, data evaluation
