China will set up 20 data-sharing centers and networks by 2010, according to a new national plan on technical development. The centers will store data in areas including agriculture and health. The move expands a well-received 2001 pilot program to share data in 12 disciplines such as meteorology and hydrology, including a widely used online forestry database. Chinese Academy of Forestry researcher Yi Haoruo says the expansion will "enhance the competitiveness of Chinese science and technology" by helping scientists share resources and eliminate redundant efforts. But he says some "are concerned" that sharing could harm their competitive advantage.
