  2. What is DataCite? • DataCite exists to make data citable • This requires a unique, persistent, resolvable identifier • DataCite provides infrastructure to assign DOIs to datasets • …plus software, theses, presentations, …

  3. Back to basics: Anatomy of a DOI • A prefix, “10.####”, and a suffix, separated by / • Assign a prefix to data centres – unique to an organisation • The format of the suffix is determined by the data centre –unique for each object • These are used to form URLs by adding the resolving domain, e.g: https://doi.org/10.5072/chosen_by.DataCentre-1 10.5072/chosen_by.DataCentre-1 PrefixSuffix

  5. How do I get DataCite DOIs (as an organisation)? • Option 1: Use an existing data centre • E.g. Zenodo, UK Data Service, Jisc Open Research Hub, … • Option 2: Join a consortium (e.g. British Library in the UK) • Costs shared across consortium • Local support & community • Option 3: Become a direct member • Most expensive • Voting rights at DataCite general assembly
