• 1. DataCite and the DataCite Metadata Kernel Joan Starr, EZID Service Manager,& Strategic & Project Planning Manager, CDL

2. Todays story

• Datasets have a problem.

• DataCite addresses it.

• Metadata plays a role.

• CDL builds a tool: EZID

3. Problem statement: second-class citizens in the scholarly record

• Research data

• Journal article

Data is difficult to manage after project funding ceases Who has it?How do I get it? What is its impact? Where is it? Libraries keep it safe. Many libraries and archives have it . Many libraries and archives have it and will share it. I can monitor its impact. I know how to find it. 4. Boiling the problem down &finding a solution

Metadata makes the citation

• A few required properties

• A few more optional properties

• 4 goals:

• recommend a citation format for datasets

• provide the basis for interoperability

• promote dataset discovery

• lay the groundwork for future services
