CODATA, the Committee on Data for Science and Technology, is an interdisciplinary Scientific Committee of the International Council for Science (ICSU), which was established in 1996 to promote and encourage, on a world-wide basis, the compilation, evaluation and dissemination of reliable numerical data of importance to science and technology.

Contributed Sessions on Human Science Integration and its Synthetic Research Methodology was held during the conference.

The purpose of this organized dual session is to embody research community and knowledge base towards human science integration, through encouraging interaction among researchers of different research fields related to human science and technology. We discuss the synthetic research methodology which is necessary for human science integration. The focus is on the physical and mental bases of human through integrating data and knowledge at all scales in diverse research fields which include but not be limited to: neuroinformatics, neurophysiology, neuroengineering, brain imaging, cognitive science, psychology, healthcare, and welfare technology. The goal of this session is to discuss how we can integrate human science so that we can solve the problem of human i.e., diseases, disorders and improve our daily life. CODATA is the society for effective sharing of scientific data, and we would like to explore the effective sharing of knowledge of human. Holistic research field on human like traditional Chinese medicine would give us suggestion. Of course, neuroscience and neuroinformatics are interdisciplinary research fields. We would like to discuss human science integration through integrating eastern and western perspective.

Scientific Program of The 20 th International CODATA Conference

Contributed Sessions on Human Science Integration and its Synthetic Research Methodology was held during the conference.

The 20 th International CODATA Conference marks the 40 th Anniversary of CODATA in Beijing during 23-25 October, 2006.
The conference, aptly titled “Scientific Data and Knowledge within the Information Society,” addresses issues such as fair and equitable access to data, data archiving, data protection and data security– to name but a few of the issues that will be touched upon.
Science has never relied more heavily on the collection, management and dissemination of data, and CODATA's task to contribute to all aspects of data, from preservation to sharing and value extraction and addition, will be addressed at this International Conference.
