Yesterday 、 Today and Tomorrow 　 of CODATA

-Our Missions and Roles of DSAO-

Shuichi IWATA

CODATA President16th DSAO at Bangkok, Thailand

Abstract• Productivity of data has been increasing drastically in these 40 years since the beginn

ing of CODATA. The number of substances registered in 1965 is 211,934, which have been piled up to 78,289,324 substances on file at 2004 year end. On December 29th of 2005 at 06:33:37 EST, CAS Registry System have 27,122,081 organic and inorganic substances, and 57,070,162 sequences. These substances and materials can create a wide variety of products and reactions, which can create a wide variety of environments, which can create different issues, e.g., divides between the north and the south and sustainable developments.

• As a consequence of market mechanisms, decreasing returns from data and increasing values of mining methods are going in parallel, which reconfirm the importance of data quality as well as the customization of data even if calculated ones. Thus as Henri Poincare pointed out in his book “Science et Methode” about one hundred years ago, universality of data and models become important. This trend activate developments of visualization and data mining methods, and also computational methods.

• As Asian and Oceanic areas have big diversities with respect to economical and cultural contents if compared with US and European countries, there are new challenges to go beyond industrial capitalisms by taking advantage of collected and compiled data. Fusion of two big movements WSSD and WSID, and regional implementations require us to work together, which may create new paradigms for this century.

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a dayReduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger

Achieve universal primary educationEnsure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary schooling

Promote gender equality and empower womenEliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015

Reduce child mortalityReduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five

Improve maternal healthReduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio

Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseasesHalt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDSHalt and begin to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases

Ensure environmental sustainabilityIntegrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes; reverse loss of environmental 　 resourcesReduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking waterAchieve significant improvement in lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers, by 2020

Develop a global partnership for developmentDevelop further an open trading and financial system that is rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory. Includes a commitment to good governance, development and poverty reduction—nationally and internationally 　　 Address the least developed countries’ special needs. This includes tariff- and quota-free access for their exports; enhanced debt relief for heavily indebted poor countries; cancellation of official bilateral debt; and more generous official development assistance for countries committed to poverty reduction 　　　 Address the special needs of landlocked and small island developing States 　　　 Deal comprehensively with developing countries’ debt problems through national and international measures to make debt sustainable in the long term 　　　 In cooperation with the developing countries, develop decent and productive work for youth 　　　 In cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, provide access to affordable essential drugs in developing countries 　　 In cooperation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies—especially information and communications technologies

Not transcendental by A.Sen(1)

• Assume that my wife and I have had dinner allone as we usually do. For dessert two cakes have been purchased. They are very different, but both are very fine cakes and expensive-according to our standard. My wife hands me the tray and suggests that I help myself. What shall I do?


• By looking up my own utility function I find that I very much would like to devour one particular one of the two cakes. I will profound that this introspective observation is completely irrelevant for the choice problem I face.


• The really relevant problem is:which one of the two cakes does my wife prefer? If I knew that the cake would be easy. I would say “yes please” and take the other cake, the one that is her second priority.

----Ragnar Frisch:The originator of Econometrics,

We have been emerging with mistakes and successes, and we need to make our experiences into public goods.It starts from our collaboration fighting against public bads!
