Data Citation Breakout Report Pine Group http://twc.titanpad.com/82 March 3, 2011
Folks • Chris Mattmann (NASA JPL, University of Southern California) • Bob Arko (LDEO) • Joanne Luciano (RPI) • Anna Milan (NGDC) • Bob Simons (NOAA) • Brian Wee (NEON, Inc.) • Leslie Hsu (LDEO) • Roland Viger (USGS, reporting) • James Wilson (James Madison University) • Tom Narock (NASA/GSFC) • Cathy Constable (SIO, UCSD) • Yoori Choi (CUAHSI)
Good Article on DOI Formation • http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january11/starr/01starr.html
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?).
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?
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
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
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)
Ideas for Functionality • UnidataIDV 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
Education/Outreach/Marketing • Consensus in community, traditional publishers critical uptake • Could inform NSF data mgmtreqs • Promote as important (potentially) as trad. Pubs for researcher evaluation
