13. ARK vs DOI http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt596nc6zghttp://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt596nc6zg, Courtesy of the Anaheim Public Library both can work like regular hyperlinks. both can refer to a subset or portion of a resource. both become persistent when the target URL is maintained.

14. ARK vs DOI Flexible Case-sensitive Special features support granularity Can be deleted Inexpensive http://www.flickr.com/photos/wainwright/351684037/

15. ARK vs DOI Established brand in publishing Indexed by major A&I citation databases DataCite policies apply Cannot be deleted More costly

16. Next steps for EZID Enhanced persistence support – Automated link checking – Tombstone pages Exposure for citations – Thomson-Reuters (Web of Knowledge) – Elsevier (Scopus) – OAI – GoogleScholar More metadata support – full DataCite metadata scheme – cross scheme mapping UI redesign – Activity reporting – Browse & search http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicolawhitaker/111009156/

17. Getting started Try it! UI and API test options Contact Joan Starr, EZID Service Manager uc3@ucop.edu http://www.flickr.com/photos/jlatimer/4972886728/

18. EZID Cost Model UC3: technical infrastructure, staff, monitoring, maintenance, enhancements, help, outreach, consultation, etc. UC clients: a small annual subscription fee entitling them to unlimited identifiers, either ARKs only or ARKs and DOIs.

19. Campus-EZID Workflows Plan A: Library as service provider – Consult, support, reach out. – Use EZID Order Form. – Pass along account requests. Plan B: Library as information hub – Distribute information, pass along questions, etc. Plan C: You shape it… – We’ll work with you to match your workflow!
