3. Community Initiatives
The time is now!
Funding Agencies
Journals
Community Initiatives
DSET

4. NCAR/DSET (Data Stewardship Engineering Team)
•An initiative to implement institution-wide DOIs
•Metadata to match schema
• services used for minting the DOI
• The manages DOIs across the institution

5. Development of DOI Implementation Procedures
11 community references
6 months
5 team members

6. Progress assigning DOIs to datasets
196 project pages updated/created
1383 DOIs minted

7. •14 Arctic Field Projects over a 20 year period
•Metadata examined and updated
–The older the dataset, the more difficult to assign authorship for citation
•DOIs were minted in bulk
1940 DOIs minted

8. Progress assigning DOIs to physical objects
24 DOIs minted
9 Facilities
The HARP collectors. Clockwise from upper left: actinic flux, nadir; actinic flux, zenith; irradiance, nadir; irradiance zenith.
14 instruments
1 Field Catalog
Examples from website

9. Development of a Drupal DOI module for websites

10. Current collaborations to cite software
2016 All Hands Meeting July 6-8,
2016 Software Citations
Working Group
2016 group focusing on the “Role of identifier in the world of software”
Something about each of these initiatives

11. Future plans to cite workflows
Add something about Cooper’s process here

12. Decision by some NCAR labs not to use DOIs for datasets
• There were concerns at some NCAR labs on automatically minting DOIs as datasets are added to an NCAR-wide system
•In each case it was a question of not being prepared or willing to take on the additional responsibility of:
Maintaining metadata and updating as necessary
Versioning datasets if data were updated
Keeping landing page current and in sync with metadata
Ensuring landing page is available 24/7
•Also, some datasets may be online and active for a limited length of time during a field project, then no longer needed
•The fact of the permanence of DOIs was the deal breaker for these labs
Culture shifts needed !

13. Helping the community use all these DOIs
Cut-and-paste citations
Creation of “How-To” documentation
Cite data
Cite software
Cite workflows
User feedback
TBD
