“I like to think of data in three categories,using a mining metaphor: ‘raw ore’,‘concentrate’, and ‘virgin metal.’ Thequestion is which data are worth savingand which throwing away?” Arden Bement, Remarks before IATUL, June 21st, 2010, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/iatul2010/conf/day1/7/ Libraries

Data/Data Sets•Prolific growth – large and small science•Lifeblood – science and engineeringresearch•Modeling – demands massive amounts of data•Funding Agencies – public accessibility Libraries

Motivation – No effective way to link Articles between datasets and articles Articles – No widely used method to identify datasets – No widely used method toUnderlying cite datasetsUnderlying datadata Jan Brase – ORCID Outreach Meeting – September 17th, 2011 – CERN Jan Brase – November 2011 Libraries

The CrossRef Digital Object Identifier (DOI®)System identifies Journals. More than 98% of all DOIregistered are for scholarlyarticles.Kuhlmann, Holger; Freudenthal, Tim; Helmke, Peer; Meggers,Helge (2004): Reconstruction of paleoceanography off NWAfrica during the last 40,000 years: influence of local andregional factors on sediment accumulation. Marine Geology,207(1-4), 209-224, doi:10.1016/j.margeo.2004.03.017 Libraries

•Establish easier access to scientific research data on the Internet.•Increase acceptance of research data as legitimate, citable contributions to the scientific record.•Support data archiving that will permit results to be verified and re-purposed for future study. http://www.datacite.org/ Libraries

• Descriptive Metadata - author (person or corporate), research variables, etc.• Subject descriptors - disciplinary taxonomy• Digital Object Identifier - persistent identifierThe dataset with DOI:Kuhlmann, H et al. (2009): Age models, iron intensity,magnetic susceptibility records and dry bulk densityof sediment cores from around the Canary Islands.doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.727522, Libraries

• Acceptance by research community of the importance of data in research• Assignment of authorship/creation (lack of copyright control) – metadata & DOI• Citation to dataset by research undertaken and reported – through DataCite• Establishment of an h-index for dataset impact Libraries
