JISC 14/09 • Citing: “Agreed conventions for data citation and for data description are important for research data discovery. Persistent identification is required...” • Linking: “A recent position paper written for JISC ... makes a case for the benefits of linking research data using semantic or linked data technology ... data on which a journal article is based are bi-directionally linked to other data, resources, articles and people.” • Integrating: “Integrating heterogeneous data across distributed sources can enable effective and innovative reuse”
ACRID • Advanced Climate Research Infrastructure for Data • Collaboration between: • Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia • STFC e-Science Centre, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory • Met Office (unfunded partner) • Various inquiries following 2009 email hacking recommended greater access to data and workings • Project aims: • Information architecture, tools, infrastructure for managing climate data and processing workflows • ‘linked-data’ approach for climate data publishing and citation • Prototype using four high-profile climate datasets
Citing • Convergence around DOI for linking publication to data in Earth science • DataCite, Parsons and Duerr (2010), Wilson et. al. (2010), UNESCO (2010), ESSD, etc. • But “(w)hat is the citeable unit within a DOI?” • file? set of files? OAIS AIP? • Answer: linked-data graph
Integrating • An example information model for Observations and Measurements (ISO/DIS 19156) • An observationis an event that estimates an observed property of a feature of interest, using a procedure, and generating a result
