  1. Libraries and data – the DataCite consortium Jan Brase, DataCite February 2nd, 2011 Workshop: Persistent Identifiers for the Social Sciences Bonn, Germany

  2. I Libraries and data

  3. ScienceParadigms Thousand years ago: science was empirical describing natural phenomena Last few hundred years: theoretical branch using models, generalizations Last few decades: a computational branch simulating complex phenomena Today:data exploration (eScience) unify theory, experiment, and simulation Jim Gray, eScience Group, Microsoft Research

  4. Consequences for Libraries • Scientific Information is more than a published article or a book • Libraries should open their cataolgues to this non-textual information • The catalogue of the future is NOT ONLY a window to the library‘s holding, but • A portal in a net of trusted providers of scientific content

  5. Consequences for Libraries We do not have it We know where you can find And here is the link to it! BUT

  6. Vision 2015

  7. II Examples

  8. III DataCite

  9. DataCite • Global consortium carried by local institutions • focused on improving the scholarly infrastructure around datasets and other non-textual information • focused on working with data centres and organisations that hold data • Providing standards, workflows and best-practice • Initially, but not exclusivly based on the DOI system • Founded December 1st 2009 in London

  10. TIB begins to issue DOI names for datasets Rapid progress builds on foundational work 12. 10 03. 09 12. 09 06. 10 03 05 • 15 members • Shared technical infrastructure- prototype • DataCite Asso-ciation founded in London • 7 members • 12 members • All members assigned DOIs • Over 800,000 items registered • Pilot projects with Data Centres • DFG funded project with German WDCs • Paris Memo-randum

  11. Members • Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) • Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (CISTI), • California Digital Library, USA • Purdue University, USA • Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), USA • Library of TU Delft, The Netherlands • Technical Information Center of Denmark • The British Library • ZB Med, Deutschland • ZBW, Deutschland • Gesis, Deutschland • Library of ETH Zürich • L’Institut de l’Information Scientifique et Technique (INIST), Frankreich • Swedish National Data Service (SND) • Australian National Data Service (ANDS) Affiliated members: • Digital Curation Center (UK) • Microsoft Research • Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) • Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI)

  13. What is next? • Over 1,000,000 records registered with DOI names (12/10) • DataCite metadata kernel (doi:10.5438/0001) • DataCite Blog (http://datacite.wordpress.com )& DataCite@Twitter • Central metadata base running (6/11) • Harvest point for third parties (Web of Science) • CrossRef cooperation for data-article look-up • More Cooperations with publisher to include data registration in the publication workflow (Thieme so far) • Cooperation with FIZ Karlsruhe to combine eSciDoc with DOI-registration interface

  14. DataCite • DataCite supports researchers by enabling them to locate, identify, and cite research datasets with confidence • DataCite supports data centres by providing workflows and standards for data publication • DataCite supports publisher by enabling linking from articles to the underlying data http://www.datacite.org
