<div>Thanks Geoffrey, I think many people have had such concerns and it is important that we tread with care, particularly as sometimes the line of demarcation between proprietary and open resources is blurred by the overlap of the subjects involved.</div>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="3"></font><span style="font-family:Lucida Console"></span>We, as members of the international science community, should be wary of supporting an initiative led by a company that has effectively privatised the results of much
publicly-funded science and inhabited access to it by scientists and citizens. That this should happen in things as profoundly important as the SDGs is doubly worrying. CODATA should think carefully before acting as the technology companies do, by providing
a platform for material for which they claim no responsibility.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Imagine how the novel capabilities offered by the digital revolution could have been harnessed to disseminate science more efficiently and effectively to the global good, rather than to the benefit of the commercial publishers private investors.
A priority for science is to rescue this potential and to embed it in the hands of scientists.</div>

Five years ago, the UN General Assembly set forth 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) designed to pave the path to a more sustainable future. The goals are measured against various targets and indicators to be achieved by 2030. To make the best decision
on which research to fund, program evaluators must have a clear view of the landscape of research supporting the SDGs. This understanding can reveal gaps requiring additional funding and support.</div>

To identify the relevant research for each SDG, the RELX Corporate Responsibility program and several Elsevier Data Scientists have developed a crowdsourcing platform to facilitate matching research publications to the relevant SDGs. The purpose of this work
is to create an open knowledge base to help identify which research supports which SDG. The aggregated crowdsourced set of article identifiers matched to SDG’s will be made available through Elsevier’s ICSR Lab, to support the scholarly community.</div>
