What is a dataset?
 Seismic measurements taken by a
geologist.
 Genetic data collected by a medical
researcher.
 A survey of public opinions collected
by a sociologist.
7
The Foundation for Research
 Data is a crucial component of the scholarly record.
 Re-acquisition may be impossible
 Datasets are essential to the British Library’s mission
to advance the World’s knowledge.
8
The Datasets Programme
We envision a future where researchers can:
 Discover, access, reuse, and reference
datasets.
 Track the impact of the data that they
generate and receive appropriate credit.
Our approach is to:
 Provide a focus for the community to
establish needs, requirements and
agreement.
 Explore novel technology and creative
solutions.

Citing Data
26
DataCite
DataCite is an international consortium which
aims to:
 Establish easier access to research data on
the Internet
 Increase acceptance of research data as
legitimate, citable contributions to the scholarly
record
 Support data archiving that will permit results
to be verified and re-purposed for future study
 http://datacite.org/
27
A Key Component for Many Goals
Make
Visible
Find
Access
Track
Impact
Verify
Reuse
Cite
?
Persistent
Identification
28
Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)
offer a solution
Mostly widely used identifier for
scientific articles
Researchers, authors, publishers
know how to use them
Put datasets on the same playing
field as articles
Connecting an Article with the Underlying Data
Dataset

  • 7. 7 The Foundation for Research  Data is a crucial component of the scholarly record.  Re-acquisition may be impossible  Datasets are essential to the British Library’s mission to advance the World’s knowledge.
  • 8. 8 The Datasets Programme We envision a future where researchers can:  Discover, access, reuse, and reference datasets.  Track the impact of the data that they generate and receive appropriate credit. Our approach is to:  Provide a focus for the community to establish needs, requirements and agreement.  Explore novel technology and creative solutions.

Editor's Notes

  1. The types of data linked to include Data from ESDS/UKDA, UK government data, regional and local government data, international organisations etc.
  2. Example Project 1 – DataCite Our long term vision is to support researchers by providing methods for them to locate, identify, and cite research datasets with confidence.
  3. DataCite 2 We see Persistent identification as a key component for this… It allows data to be verified, discovered, accessed, reused, cited and tracked,
  4. How does datacite work? The approach that DataCite is taking – using DOIs - has some important social benefits. Researchers, authors, publishers are comfortable, understand, and know how to use them. They put datasets on a level playing field with articles.
