        <div>After an extensive period of public commentary and after
          conducting test certifications, the ICSU World Data System
          (WDS) and the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) Board are pleased to
          announce the availability of the first version of their
          universal and unified <b>Core Trustworthy Data Repository </b><b>Requirements.</b><br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The catalogue of requirements was developed through a
          DSA–WDS partnership Working Group within the Research Data
          Alliance (RDA). The group built on inherent complementarity
          between the criteria previously established by the two
          organizations to harmonize unified and universal requirements
          reflecting the core characteristics of trustworthy data
          repositories.</div>
        <div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>The DSA Board and the WDS Scientific Committee are
            working together to further align their</div>
          <div>certification procedures and ensure that the research
            community will have a single, clear refere nce
            point for seeking Core Trustworthy Data Repository
            certification.</div>
