CODATA

Codata is a big group of smart people who work together to collect important information and share it with others who might need it. They collect all sorts of information about things like science, technology, and other important topics. This information might be used by other smart people to do research or to make important decisions. Codata makes sure that all the information they collect is accurate and up-to-date, sort of like making sure all the pieces of a puzzle fit together perfectly. So basically, codata helps people make better decisions by giving them reliable information.
