DOI’s Within TERN Ecoinformatics • TERN & the Ecoinformatics Facility • Who Are We?
DOI’s Within TERN Ecoinformatics • Our Products • ÆKOS (Australian Ecological Knowledge and Observation System) • SHaRED (Submission, Harmonisation and Retrieval of Ecological Data) • Soils2Satellites
DOI’s Within TERN Ecoinformatics • Why Do We Create DOI’s? • Easy and persistent access to research data • Permanent link to data submitted to TERN Eco-informatics AEKOS via SHaRED • Permanent link to downloads created for extract in Soils2Satellites • What does this help our users with? • Creation/management/identification of new collections - S2S • Simplifying discovery, retrieval and download of data from our applications

How Do We Generate DOI’s • DOI’s Within TERN Ecoinformatics • TERN Eco-informatics has developed a DOI Minting Client that interfaces with the TERN Central DOI Minting Service API. • Crosswalks between SHaRED meta-information model and the DataCiteResource schema • Generates the Resource XML definition • Securely posts an xml document to the DOI Minting service, including a home landing page URL • Receives a DataCiteDOI, which is included with the SHaRED/ÆKOS or S2S data/metadata collection records
Issues • DOI’s Within TERN Ecoinformatics • How to address data being continually updated? • Should all ÆKOS data extracts automatically receive a DOI? • How can a DOI link back to the originating portal?
In common with many other national and international initiatives such as DataONE (www.dataone.org) in the US, TERN Eco-informatics is concerned with the ongoing management of the large numbers of datasets covering the “long tail” of funded research. • The “long tail” refers to the many thousands of small projects with small, discrete datasets as compared to the few large national databases that form the core of ÆKOS.
