5. Feedback Guidance/examples to clarify – Many types of data (collect use-cases) – Scope of Identifier vs. Metadata – Daisy Chaining of DOIs – Roles (author, editor, others?) authorship problematic (person who wrote the text report, idea person, technician/data cruncher/point of content) Publisher also possibly unclear – Synthetic collections (what’s a “new” dataset?). 5

6. Maintenance & Policy Orphaned DOIs – Infrastructure/tools to detect – Policy consensus on what to do – Funding to implement Ties in to data stewardship Require DOI issuer to verify qualified hosting? 6

7. Usage/Context of Citation Subsetting? – Part of author’s methods? Transformations? – Not just “lat/long box”, selection by attribute, feature Date of download vs. date of online availability Promote linkage to traditional pubs Minimum completeness of DOI spec vetted – Not science content or even metadata 7

8. Possible Special Cases Again, metadata vs. identifier/locator clarity Multi-step derivatives Year – Publication vs. acquisition – Temporal range Provisional vs. Final data Dynamic (e.g. real-time) “living” data sets and DOIs 8

9. Research Needs Consensus thresholds for creating a "new" product? – Reproducibility – Domain-specific? New version vs. new data product Handle "living"/streaming/real-time (i.e. constantly updated with new obs) data sets Handle provisional/QA/QC changes to a data set (i.e. fixing previous obs) 9

10. Ideas for Functionality Unidata IDV used to allow publication of XML for specifying all the data used in a 4-D visualization. A consumer could load that XML into a new IDV session and pull all the exact same data.--> interesting application of a data citation. Compilation tools from data provider to help create citable datasets. – Ruth’s point re: users not realizing what tools are doing wrt data marshalling 10

11. Education/Outreach/Marketing Consensus in community, traditional publishers critical uptake Could inform NSF data mgmt reqs Promote as important (potentially) as trad. Pubs for researcher evaluation 11
