2. Implementation of DOIs at SEDAC
NASA recommended assignment of DOIs to data products
SEDAC established guidance policy
Developed procedure for creating and maintaining DOIs
Crosswalk between Datacite elements and FGDC CSDGM elements
Crosswalk between Datacite elements and documentation elements
EZID Using Columbia University CIESIN account
Tested proceduresfor creating and maintaining DOIs
Creating, maintaining, managing, reporting
Continuing to enhance, test, and improve procedures
Assigned 237 DOIs to SEDAC Products as of June 2017

3. Data Landing Pages

4. Recommended Citation(s)

5. DOIs for Data Documentation
DOIs for Documentation of Collections and Datasets
Establishes persistent links between documentation and data
Links between data and documentation are reciprocal
Data Collection Documentation
DOI resolves to collection documentation webpage
Collection documentation is accessible from each dataset landing page in collection
Dataset Documentation
DOI resolves to dataset documentation webpage
Dataset documentation webpage is accessible from dataset landing page
DOIs for Previous Releases
Collection-level landing page for previous releases that have been superseded
Subsequent releases are listed for each previously released data product

6. Landing Page for Data Documentation

7. Linking Data, Documentation, & Publications
Linking data with Datacite Related Identifier Elements
Linking data, documentation, and publications
Bi-directional links between data and documentation
Data
Data Center Managed Links
Data
Documentation
Publications

8. Using DataCite Relationship Types
Linking Documentation and Data
IsDocumentedBy If documentation has a DOI and has been released.
Documents  If the dataset has a DOI and has been released.
Linking Data and Data
IsNewVersionOf   If the older version has a DOI
IsPreviousVersionOf  If newer version has a DOI and has been released.
Linking Data and Publications
IsReferencedBy  If the original article has a DOI and we reference the article (in Recommended Citation, etc.)
References  If the documentation references an article that we reference (in Recommended Citation, etc.)
