CODATA – The Early Years
THE INITIAL CODATA PROJECTS
• Task Group on Fundamental Constants - Produce an internationally agreed set of fundamental physical constants (speed of light, Planck's constant, etc.)
• Task Group on Key Values for Thermodynamics - Recommend standard values of the thermodynamic properties of about 150 key chemical substances
• Task Group on Computer Use - Promote the use of electronic means for storage, retrieval, and dissemination of data
• International Compendium of Numerical Data Projects -Prepare a directory of data centers and other organizations that collect and distribute scientific data

CONCLUSIONS OF FREIBURG MEETING
• Technology for storing and accessing data is here
• Retrieval from remote data banks has been done
• Long-term problems are socio-political, not technical
• CODATA should take lead in both technical and economic-political issues

CODATA – The Early Years
CODATA'S ACHIEVEMENTS IN ITS FIRST 15 YEARS
• Providing a forum for scientists from different disciplines to learn about common problems in data handling and work together for a solution
• Fostering international cooperation on data projects, especially during the cold war.
• Reaching international agreement on key data sets in physics and chemistry
• Conducting educational activities such as training courses, guides to the presentation of data, and directories to data sources
• Contributing to the introduction of modern information technology into the handling and dissemination of scientific data.
