Abstract
The Polar Data Centre (PDC) of the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) has a responsibility to manage polar science data as part of the National Antarctic Data Centre and the Science Committee on Antarctic Research. During the International Polar Year (IPY 2007–2008), a remarkable number of data/metadata involving multi-disciplinary science activities were compiled. Although the long-term stewardship of the accumulation of metadata falls to the data center of NIPR, the work has been in collaboration with the Global Change Master Directory, the Polar Information Commons, the World Data System and other data science bodies/communities under the International Council for Science. In addition, links with other data centers, such as the Data Integration and Analysis System Program of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems and the Polar Data Catalogue of Canada were initiated in 2014 using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. The metadata compiled by the PDC were recently modified using an automatic attributing system and DataCite through the Japan Link Center.
Highlights
The Polar Data Centre (PDC) of the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) forms part of the National Antarctic Data Center (NADC) for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) of the International Council for Science (ICSU)
Close cooperation has been achieved with several global data bodies under the ICSU including the Standing Committee on Antarctic Data management (SC-ADM) of the SCAR, the Arctic Data Committee (ADC) of the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), involved Working Groups/Export Groups within the Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) and World Data System (WDS), together with other groups and committees related to global data issues
During the International Polar Year program (IPY 2007–2008) and beyond, the PDC/NIPR mined a significant amount of scientific data involving polar activities mainly based on Japanese endorsed projects (Parsons et al, 2011a; 2011b; Kanao et al, 2013)

The Polar Data Centre (PDC) of the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) forms part of the National Antarctic Data Center (NADC) for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) of the International Council for Science (ICSU). During the International Polar Year program (IPY 2007–2008) and beyond, the PDC/NIPR mined a significant amount of scientific data involving polar activities mainly based on Japanese endorsed projects (Parsons et al, 2011a; 2011b; Kanao et al, 2013). Interoperable metadata linkage and promoting data citations could provide an efficient model in a framework for long-term preservation and publication of polar data by the global system.
