The World Data System (WDS) Asia-Oceania Conference 2017 was held at Masukawa Memorial Hall of Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, on 27-29 September 2017 to discuss future collaborations among data centers in Asia-Oceania countries. The number of participants was 107, including 68 domestic and 39 foreign participants. In the three-day conference and one-day associated workshop on solar-terrestrial data analysis, 53 oral and 31 poster papers were presented. Abstracts and presenting materials of these papers are opened in the conference Web page (wdc2.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/wds2017/). The principal part of the conference was allocated to share information on current data-oriented activities being conducted in the area. We also set the session for thematic discussions on Future Earth, Space Weather, and Open Data/Science to make clear the problems and future activities to resolve them. After discussions held in this conference, we got common understanding given below:

(1) Establish a “WDS Asia-Oceania Network” to share information and to stimulate collaboration to assure long-term preservation and provision of quality-accessed data
(2) Nominate initial contact person from each participating country
(3) Encourage data centers/repositories to join WDS Keep engagement with non-WDS former WDCs
(4) Stimulate discussions on data repository accreditation
(5) Collaborate with Future Earth, GEO, RDA, CODATA, and international research networks
(6) Connect our regional activities to international community (e.g. Data/Metadata format issue)
(7) Next WDS Asia-Oceania Conference will be hosted by China in 2019
