Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management (JCADM)

This Committee is a joint committee of SCAR and the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programmes (COMNAP). Its purpose is to advise SCAR and COMNAP on the management of Antarctic data. One of its key roles is to advise on the development of the Antarctic Data Management System including the recruitment of National Antarctic Data Centres (NADCs) and the encouragement of scientists to submit metadata to NADCs. The issue of NADC recruitment is being addressed by developing a communications network and running regional "capacity-building" workshops. The Committee is also examining national approaches to addressing freedom of access to scientific information.
