AB: Polar Data-Sharing is an effective resolution to global system and polar science problems and to interdisciplinary and sustainable study, as well as an important means to deal with IPY scientific heritages and realize IPY goals. Corresponding to IPY Data-Sharing policies, Information and Data-Sharing Plan was listed in five sub-plans of IPY Chinese Programme launched in March, 2007,they are Scientific research program of the Prydz Bay, Amery Ice Shelf and Dome A transects(short title:'PANDA'), the Arctic Scientific Research Expedition Plan, International Cooperation Plan, Information and Data-Sharing Plan, Education and Outreach. China, since the foundation of Antarctic Zhongshan Station in 1989, has carried out systematic scientific expeditions and researches in Larsemann Hills, Prydz Bay and the neighbouring sea areas, organized 14 Prydz Bay oceanographic investigations, 3 Amery Ice Shelf expeditions, 4 Grove Mountains expeditions and 5 inland ice cap scientific expeditions. 2 comprehensive oceanographic investigations in the Arctic Ocean were conducted in 1999 and 2003, acquired a large amount of data and samples in PANDA section and fan areas of Pacific Ocean in the Arctic Ocean. A mechanism of basic data submitting ,sharing and archiving has been gradually set up since 2000. Presently, Polar Science Database and Polar Sample Resource Sharing Platform of China with the aim of sharing polar data and samples has been initially established and began to provide sharing service to domestic and oversea users. According to IPY Chinese Activity, 2 scientific expeditions in the Arctic Ocean, 3 in the South Ocean, 2 at Amery Ice Shelf, 1 on Grove Mountains and 2 inland ice cap expeditions on Dome A will be carried out during IPY period. According to the experiences accumulated in the past and the jobs in the future, the Information and Data- Sharing Plan, during 2007-2010, will save, archive, and provide exchange and sharing services upon the data obtained by scientific expeditions on the site of IPY Chinese Programme. Meanwhile, focusing on areas in east Antarctic Dome A-Grove Mountain-Zhongshan Station-Amery Ice Shelf-Prydz Bay Section and the fan areas of Pacific Ocean in the Arctic Ocean, the Plan will also collect and integrate IPY data and historical data and establish database of PANDA Section and the Arctic Ocean. The details are as follows: On the basis of integrating the observed data acquired during the expeditions of China, the Plan will, adopting portal technology, develop 5 subject databases (English version included):(1) Database of Zhongshan Station- Dome A inner land ice cap section;(2) Database of interaction of ocean-ice-atmosphere-ice shelf in east Antarctica;(3) Database of geological and glaciological advance and retreat evolvement in Grove Mountains; (4) Database of Solar Terrestrial Physics at Zhongshan Station; (5) Oceanographic database of fan area of Pacific Ocean in the Arctic Ocean. CN-NADC of PRIC is the institute which assumes the responsibility for the Plan, specifically, it coordinates and organizes the operation of the Plan which includes data management, developing the portal of data and information sharing, and international exchanges. The specific assignments under the Plan will be carried out by research institutes under CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences), SOA ( State Oceanic Administration), State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping and Ministry of Education.
