The  inclusion ofZALF  Open Research Data and ZALF publications  into the Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index commercial data bases  and information events non-profit repositories  might be a reason for rising awareness for Open Science. However, we have been asked if registered Open Data are collected in the research

Where justified objections for example against Open Data arise, other solutions such as open metadata can be found.

An aim  is to capture the long tail of data research information  and make the so-called dark data which are difficult to find available to other scientists (Heidorn 2008).

A data policy has (Heidorn, 2008). And as policies have  been a means to promote Open Data Science  at several German institutions (Göttingen, HUB, ...) and institutions,  ZALF is currently preparing one. However, detailed workflows are being included the ZALF a  data policy, which slows down policy in addition to  the process of implementing it. Policies can have different targets like rising awareness, committing existing Open Access policy. A challenge all service departments will accept gladly  to something or regulating workflows.
