9. What is an identifier? What you see: alphanumeric string (never changes) Associated with: location of object (such as a URL) Optional: who, what, when, etc (i.e. metadata) By Joelk75: http://www.flickr.com/photos/75001512@N00/2728233597/http://www.flickr.com/photos/75001512@N00/2728233597/

12. EZID: long-term identifiers made easy take control of the management and distribution of your research, share and get credit for it, and build your reputation through its collection and documentation Primary Functions 1. Create persistent identifiers 2. Manage identifiers over time 3. Manage associated metadata over time

17. Small required set = citation elements Optional descriptive set: – extendable lists – can refer to other standards, schemes – domain-neutral – rich ability to describe relationships to other digital objects Metadata Search (MDS) is full-text indexed DataCite Metadata V. 2.2

22. A life cycle approach CDL Curation and Publishing Services http://www.cdlib.org Create, edit, share, and save data management plans Open access scholarly publishing services: papers, journals, books, seminars & more Curation repository: store, manage, and share research data Create and manage persistent identifiers Open source add-in for Microsoft Excel as a data collection tool An infrastructure to publish and get credit for sharing research data Data Publication

23. Identifiers and data management Track your results Get more citations Organize your data Meet funder requirements
