Founded in 1966 as an interdisciplinary body of the International Council for Science (ICSU), CODATA is responsible for coordinating data policies and standards across research fields in support of scientific activities. For example, one CODATA task group provides recommended values for the fundamental physical constants, which researchers and engineers use throughout the physical sciences and their applications.
