The Japan DataScientist Society is a Japanese incorporated association established in 2013 to define and standardize the knowledge and skills expected of data scientists, develop talent, and support the healthy growth of the field. Its official website explains the literacy-level Data Scientist Certification (DS Test), including its purpose, syllabus, sample questions, and study information. The exam covers foundational skills, data science, data engineering, and value creation, as well as literacy in mathematics, data science, and AI. The site also publishes skill checklists, surveys and research, news, symposia and awards, recruitment and education resources, and the DSS Journal. Membership and community programs connect practitioners and aspiring professionals with hiring companies and educational institutions.
