IEDA hosts diverse data!
¤ IEDA is a data facility that hosts observational solid earth data and
tools from the marine, terrestrial, and polar environments. !
¤ Multiple diverse data systems that were developed independently,
serving both !
¤ sensor data from large collaborative cruise programs !
¤ sample-based measurements from unique analytical laboratories !
¤ IEDA data systems enable the data to be discovered and reused.!

IEDA needs persistent identifiers!
Persistent identifiers help IEDA achieve greater…!
¤ Accessibility: by navigating diverse but related data in the
IEDA systems!
¤ Reliability: by maintaining links between IEDA and outside
systems that persist through time!
¤ Citability: by enabling proper attribution to research with long-
lived, citable, identifiers!
