DataCite – Persistent links to scientific data Jan Brase, DataCite – TIB 1st PRELIDA workshop PISA, June 26th

High visability of the content Easy re-use and verification. Scientific reputation for the collection and documentation of content (Citation Index) Encouraging the Brussels declaration on STM publishing Avoiding duplications Motivation for new research What if any kind of scientific content would be citable?

Digital Object Identifiers (DOI names) 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 Dataset Yancheva et al (2007). Analyses on sediment of Lake Maar. PANGAEA. doi: /PANGAEA URLs are not persistent (e.g. Wren JD: URL decay in MEDLINE- a 4-year follow-up study. Bioinformatics. 2008, Jun 1;24(11):1381-5).   DOI names for citations

How to achieve this? Science is global it needs global standards Global workflows Cooperation of global players Science is carried out locally By local scientist Beeing part of local infrastrucures Having local funders

Global consortium carried by local institutions focused on improving the scholarly infrastructure around datasets and other non-textual information focused on working with data centres and organisations that hold content Providing standards, workflows and best-practice Initially, but not exclusivly based on the DOI system Founded December 1st 2009 in London DataCite

DataCite Content Service Service for displaying DataCite metadata Different formats (BibTeX, RIS, RDF, etc.) Content Negotation (through MIME-Typ) Access through DOI proxy ( First implemented by CNRI and CrossRef: Documentation:

Content negotiation Optimized for m2m communication using the accept header of the http protocol curl -L -H "Accept: MIME_TYPE" Try a shortcut out in any webbrowser:

Resolving to the citation datacite+text/ / Li, j; Zhang, G; Lambert, D; Wang, J (2011): Genomic data from Emperor penguin. GigaScience.

Resolving to the RDF metadata / Li, J Zhang, G Wang, J doi: / info:doi/ / GigaScience Lambert, D 2011 Genomic data from the Emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri)

Example of use This allows persistent identification of RDF statements! Implemented for all over 45 million CrossRef and DataCite DOI names Example of use: DOI Citation Formatter

2012: STM, CrossRef and DataCite Joint Statement 1.To improve the availability and findability of research data, the signers encourage authors of research papers to deposit researcher validated data in trustworthy and reliable Data Archives. 2.The Signers encourage Data Archives to enable bi- directional linking between datasets and publications by using established and community endorsed unique persistent identifiers such as database accession codes and DOI's. 3. The Signers encourage publishers and data archives to make visible or increase visibility of these links from publications to datasets and vice versa 23

Example The dataset: Storz, D et al. (2009): Planktic foraminiferal flux and faunal composition of sediment trap L1_K276 in the northeastern Atlantic. Is supplement to the article: Storz, David; Schulz, Hartmut; Waniek, Joanna J; Schulz-Bull, Detlef; Kucera, Michal (2009): Seasonal and interannual variability of the planktic foraminiferal flux in the vicinity of the Azores Current.
