[CODATA-international] WorldFAIR and a Festival of Data - Looking back on 2022 and forward to 2023

*WorldFAIR and a Festival of Data – Looking back on 2022 and forward to
2023: a report on CODATA activities and achievements is now
available https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7473141
<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7473141>*

2022 has been another busy and successful year for the CODATA community.
We are very grateful for your committed collaboration and engagement with
our mission.  As a global, membership organisation, CODATA depends on the
generosity of our funders and collaborators and the often voluntary efforts
of committee, Task Group and Working Group members.

In 2023, the International Data Week theme will be ‘a festival of data’
<https://internationaldataweek.org/> and an occasion to celebrate the
richness and diversity of our community.  That starts with this expression
of gratitude.  We are very fortunate to have an extremely committed group
of Officers and Executive Committee members
<https://codata.org/about-codata/executive-committee/>, dynamic leadership
throughout our various initiatives and a secretariat that works beyond the
call of duty.  Through all these factors, and more, CODATA is genuinely
greater than the sum of its parts and achieves a great deal more than our
budget would suggest.

As is customary, we would like to provide a summary of activities and
achievements and take the opportunity to alert you to events in the coming
year.  This is a genuinely exciting time, as we see the vision for a Decadal
Programme <https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/> on Making
Data Work for Cross-Domain Grand Challenges begin to come into fruition
with the WorldFAIR project <https://worldfair-project.eu/>, a set of
related Case Studies, and important work on units
<https://codata.org/initiatives/task-groups/drum/>, vocabularies
<https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/fair-vocabularies/iussp-codata-working-group-on-fair-vocabularies/>
and
a Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework
<https://worldfair-project.eu/cross-domain-interoperability-framework/>.
Also notable is new impetus and direction for our International Data Policy
Committee
<https://codata.org/initiatives/data-policy/international-data-policy-committee/>
and
the new International Programme Office
<https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/global-open-science-cloud/gosc-ipo/>
to
support the Open Science initiatives.

The report that follows ended up a bit longer than intended!  I hope it
provides an informative and interesting snapshot of CODATA activities.  An
updated version and a revised CODATA Strategy will be published in 2023 in
preparation for our General Assembly, Salzburg, Austria, 27-28 October.

It remains for me to wish you a restorative and healthy end to 2022 and a
2023 full of achievement and success.

Simon Hodson, Executive Director, CODATA.
