Only a few hours after WHO announced the COVID-19 as PHEIC in the morning of 31 Jan. 2020 in Beijing time, we (CCIT/CCLH-CAST and IGSNRR/CAS) started the joint action to establish a platform on COVID-19 knowledge and database system based on the hub methodology. More than a hundred scientists and students participated the activities at home though online cooperation. 16 groups of the knowledge and data were identified. The radio reported on pandemic, vaccine, virus medicine, clinical medicine, Chinese medicine, new technology applications in China are also online. More than 16,000 computer IP users from 97 countries access these data and information.

Yes, the digital knowledge and data are replicable by mirier site or inter-operational methodology or networking system. Now, we are networking with 52 Journals.

Yes, from scientific research aspect, the knowledge and data about the COVID-19 may last to 2025, although we hope it closes as earlier as possible. The IGSNRR/CAS based on the Academic Journal Support Program, MOST (Ministry of Science and Technology of China) based on the National Data Center program and CAST (Chinese Association for Sciences and Technology) based on special program on COVID-19 and Outstanding Journals Program started in 2020.

This project created a platform that allows all scientists, health professionals to share their knowledge and data about COVID-19 so as to better control the pandemic. As such, this project promotes WSIS values in the community especially - C7. ICT applications: benefits in all aspects of life — E-science.
