About the Pre-Recorded Session and the Live Discussion
In the session we hear from a number of cross-domain initiatives that undertaking activities to make ISC’s new Action Plan, CODATA has been tasked to develop an international collaborative programme, a Decadal Programme, entitled ‘Making Data Work for Cross Domain Grand Challenges’: we are currently putting in place the components of this work and the programme will be launched at the ISC Assembly in 2021.
The premise of the Decadal Programme is that the major scientific and global challenges of our age (including climate change mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk reduction, the SDGs, resilient cities and so on) are necessarily cross domain, cross sectoral. Addressing these issues requires many things, including the contribution of the pre-recorded session we highlighted three examples of extremely valuable work on terminologies and semantics, applied to issues of the first order of importance. This includes presentations on the review of hazard definitions and classifications that will underpin Sendai reporting; on the activities to enhance the records of the UN General Assembly and to make the resolutions machine-readable; and on the application of Internationalized the live discussion session each presenter gave a very short presentation, highlighting the key points from their full presentation in the pre-recorded session. We held a structured discussion facilitated by Arofan Gregory, and then took questions from the audience, chaired by Simon Hodson.
