OBS

The World Data Center(WDC) system was established by the International Council for Science(ICSU) to archive and distribute data collected from the observational programs of the 1957–1958 International Geophysical Year. Originally established in the United States, Europe, Russia, and Japan, the WDC system was then expanded to other countries and to new scientific disciplines. Its holdings included a wide variety of environmental data that covered timescales ranging from seconds to millennia. These data provided baseline information for research in many disciplines, especially for monitoring changes in the geosphere and biosphere.

A Project by the International Development Research Center(IDRC). "Quick access to medical information is essential for quality patient care, medical research, and monitoring health trends. But in many parts of the developing world, obtaining information has been difficult, if not impossible, due to poor communications infrastructure, economic conditions, or disasters. This information gap has been reduced thanks to a reliable, inexpensive health information system called HealthNet. Today HealthNet provides health-care professionals even in remote areas of the South with medical information that was previously unattainable. The network is active in more than 30 developing nations(including 22 African countries), with more countries scheduled to join in the near future. Partly funded by IDRC, HealthNet uses radio-and telephone-based computer networks and a low-earth-orbit satellite to transfer medical information from one part of the world to developing countries and vice versa.

OBS

Projet du Centre de recherches pour le développement international (CRDI). «L'accès rapide à l'information médicale est essentiel pour dispenser des soins de qualité, effectuer des recherches médicales et surveiller les tendances en matière de santé. Toutefois, dans nombre de pays en développement, pareil accès est depuis longtemps difficile, voire impossible, en raison d'une infrastructure de communications déficiente, d'une mauvaise conjoncture ou de catastrophes naturelles. On peut désormais combler cette lacune grâce à un système fiable et peu coûteux d'information sur la santé, appelé HealthNet. Aujourd'hui, HealthNet fournit aux professionnels de la santé, même dans les régions éloignées du Sud, de l'information sanitaire auparavant inaccessible. Le réseau a été mis en service dans plus de 30 pays en développement (dont 22 pays d'Afrique) et d'autres devraient y adhérer bientôt. Financé en partie par le CRDI, HealthNet utilise les réseaux informatiques fonctionnant par téléphonie et radio-communication ainsi qu'un satellite en basse orbite pour transférer des données médicales d'une région du monde à des pays en développement, et vice versa.»

It includes the Global Atmosphere Watch, which integrates monitoring and research activities carried out under the Global Ozone Observing System(GO3OS) and the Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network(BAPMoN) and serves as a system to detect changes in the composition of the atmosphere, an important prerequisite to understanding human impact on the atmosphere and addressing important aspects of sustainable development. The Programme also includes weather prediction research; a Tropical Meteorology Research Programme relating to studies of monsoons, tropical cyclones, rain-producing tropical weather systems and droughts; and a programme on the physics and chemistry of clouds and weather modification.
