[MGI31-05] Japanese efforts of archiving the primary samples for the promotion of the open science.
The Science Council of Japan (SCJ) recommended to the government and society in June 2020 for the promotion and development of open science.
Three points have been proposed:
1. Arrangement of systematic rules for the open science promotion of data science period.
2. Construction of systematic platform for the open science promotion.
3. Construction of archiving system of primary samples for the open science promotion.
The third recommendation is quite important for the geological, geochemical, and geo-bio interdisciplinary fields in geosciences.
To promote the third recommendation, we have started to discuss in the Earth and planetary science committee of SCJ. The Japanese geoscience sample repositories consist mainly of three different components: those of university and research institutions, of museums, and of the geological survey and private companies. They have no systematic interactive archiving system at this moment.
In addition to the difficulty above, there is another difficulty for the open science promotion. Most of the sample curation systems are managed in the Japanese language system, because Japan has unique history without the western colonial occupation since the mid 19’s century. The central government has promoted that all of education and research system from the primary school to the university in Japanese language soon after the domestic revolution in mid 19th century. Such a domestic system has kept even after the world war II in late 20th century.
We are urgently discussing to evolve the archiving system for the global promotion of open science.
