  1. Research data in library catalogues and the joint initiative of European technical libraries for data registration Jan Brase Workshop Primary data for libraries ICSTI winter meeting, march 2nd 2009 2008

  2. The TIB as a DOI Registration agency

  3. Problem: The research trajectory Data … is lost! are analysed synthesised interpreted become Information … is traceable is published becomes Knowledge … is accessible Publication

  4. Approach • The German Research Foundation (DFG) has started the project Publication and Citation of Scientific Primary Data to increase the accessibility of scientific research data, starting with the field of earth science. • TIB is now established as a “non-commercial” DOI-registration agency for scientific research data as a member of the International DOI Foundation (IDF).

  5. Data and article • The DOI system offers an easy way to connect the article with the underlying data: The dataset: G.Yancheva, . R Nowaczyk et al (2007) Rock magnetism and X-ray flourescence spectrometry analyses on sediment cores of the Lake Huguang Maar, Southeast China, PANGAEA doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.587840 Is supplement to the article: G. Yancheva, N. R. Nowaczyk et al (2007) Influence of the intertropical convergence zone on the East Asian monsoon Nature 445, 74-77 doi:10.1038/nature05431

  6. Results • Citability of research data • High visability of the data • Easy re-use and verification of the data sets. • Scientific reputation for the collection and documentation of data (Citation Index) • Encouraging the Brussels declaration on STM publishing • Avoiding duplications • Motivation for new research

  7. Scope • The TIB registers research data worldwide from a scientific, technical or medical background. • So far over 600,000 information objects have received a DOI name. • The storage, maintaining and evaluation of the contents lies with the content providers (institutions, data centers, …) the data centers

  8. Content providers, Data centers, who are responsible for: • Quality assurance • Storage of the content and accessibility • Creation of metadata • The TIB stores the metadata and keeps it searchable.

  9. Research data in library catalogues

  10. Examples • Catalogue: • http://tws.gbv.de/CHARSET=ISO-8859-1/DB=2.63/LNG=DU/SID=445afc80-6b/CMD?ACT=SRCHA&IKT=1016&SRT=YOP&TRM=exk+primaerdaten • Dataset1: • 10.1594/GFZ.SDDB.1128 • Dataset2: • 10.1594/PANGAEA.605212 • Dataset3: • 10.1594/PANGAEA.667386

  11. Building an infrastructure

  12. An ideal cycle of research analysed synthesised interpreted Data Accumulation Publication (DOI) Research Catalogue Publication(DOI) Information Data archive Publishers Experiment Publication(DOI) linking Peer-Review Inspiration Publication

  13. 3 layered Data Infrastructure Libraries Search results, DOI-Registriation Costs: 0,01 – 1 Euro per dataset Data centers Storage, Quality assurance , Metadata Costs: 50 – 500 Euro per dataset (usually around 1% of data creation costs) Scientists Data harvesting, Data production Costs: 5.000 – 5.000.000 Euro per dataset, (unlimited)

  14. Problems • Missing Infrastructure in many disciplines • Missing funding possibilities • Missing policies for data contribution ! ? ?

  15. Cooperations • In 2008 TIB has started a pilot project with Thieme Chemistry. • Chemical research data as supplement to articels from chemical journalss SYNLETT and SYNTHESIS will be registered with DOI names from TIB. • The data sets will be stored at Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe. • Access will be free of charge.

  16. Joint initiative of European technical libraries for data registration

  17. Re-organisation • So far the TIB is a DOI registration agency for primary data (and other non-commercial scientific information) with other local institutions as its customers. • In 1999 the publishers funded their independent DOI agency CrossRef • In 2008/2009 TIB will transit the DOI registration to a new worldwide agency, carried by local information institutes and libraries.

  18. Opportunities • Easy access to the DOI system for non-commercial information institutes and libraries worldwide. • Access to Research Data is part of the national responsibilities. As science is international we aim at creating a global cooperation with national representatives.

  19. Partners The core group of partners are: • ETH Zürich Library, Switzerland • L’Institut de l’Information Scientifique et Technique (INIST), France • TU Delft library, The Netherlands • Technical Information Center of Denmark • British Library • Always open for other institutions
