== Mission ==
The mission of the World Data System is to enhance the capabilities, impact and sustainability of member data repositories and data services by creating trusted communities of scientific data repositories, strengthening the scientific enterprise throughout the entire lifecycle of all data related components - creating first-class data that feeds first-class research output, and advocating for accessible data and transparent and reproducible science.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Constitution |url=https://worlddatasystem.org/about/constitution/ |access-date=2024-07-11 |website=World Data System |language=en-US}}</ref>
 
== Goals ==
* Foster a globally interoperable, distributed data system.
* Ensure long-term data stewardship, accessibility, and usability.
* Support scientific research by providing trusted data services.
 
== Sponsor ==
* [[International Science Council|International Science Council (ISC)]]
* U.S. Government agencies like:
  * [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)]]
  * [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration|National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)]]
 
== Creation ==
WDS was established by the International Council for Science (ICSU), now part of the ISC, at the 29th General Assembly in 2008 to replace the World Data Centers and Federation of Astronomical and Geophysical data analysis Services.
 
== Funding ==
U.S. contributions to WDS are typically through the participation of U.S. data centers and agencies in WDS activities, with funding coming from their respective budgets. Specific amounts are not publicly detailed, as they are part of larger allocations for international scientific cooperation.
 
== Leadership ==
The WDS is governed by a Scientific Committee, but individual U.S. agency leaders (like NOAA's or NASA's directors) manage U.S. involvement.
 
== Website ==
https://www.worlddatasystem.org
 
=== Social Media Accounts ===
* No specific social media accounts for WDS; however, related organizations include:
