Establish an information integration and data sharing platform for national quality infrastructure (NQI) in China

The UNESCO “Open Science Recommendation” published in 2021 signals a global consensus on open science, emphasizing the importance of open science infrastructures such as data sharing platform and scientific data repositories. China is building a National Quality Infrastructures (NQI) system and has made continuous progress in metrology, standard, testing, certification and accreditation. National Institute of Metrology, China (NIM) is leading the planning and establishment of an information integration and data sharing platform for the NQI in China, in order to solve the problems of dispersed NQI information resources and insufficient sharing of NQI scientific research results, and to realize information integration and data sharing within the NQI field. This paper briefly describes the establishment program, system architecture and core functions of the platform project, as well as the strategies planned to provide services for different target groups, including researchers in the NQI system, managers of research institutions and funders. Through the establishment of this data sharing platform, it is expected to simplify the process of accessing, sharing and reusing data and information for researchers in the field of NQI, and improve the efficiency of utilizing NQI data resources, thus promoting the development of Digital NQI, ensuring that the data in the field of NQI complies with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and accelerating the scientific research innovation and sharing of results in the field of NQI in China.
