"Citation Index": Scientific efficiency is "measured" by publications.
Extra work for data publication is currently not acknowledged. Data processing, context documentation, quality assurance.
Recommendation: Data publications should be included in the standard scientific "Citation Index". Motivation of the individual scientist. Connection between person and primary dataset.
Citable Data publications support the rules of good scientific practise. encourage inter-disciplinary data utilisation. Make data searchable in library catalogues together with articles Closes the gap between scientifc literature and related data
15. description These data represent results from the ECHAM4/OPYC climate model running the SRES-B2 sceanrio. The data base tables contain monthly mean time series of ……
Critical points are securing of data quality and stable connection between identifier and data entity
Allocation is restricted to syntax control and completeness, i.e. expert data description and long-term archiving
Scientific quality assurance is expected by the author and will be reviewed during the allocation process.
Published primary data cannot be changed like published articles.
Stable connection between identifier reference and data entity as well as long-term availability of the primary data are essential and must be ensured (e.g. ICSU WDC's)
• During her research for the World Data Center Climate (WDCC) the scientist Mrs. Weather gains primary data about the weather in Hannover in the year 2003.
• As usual the primary data is tested, evaluated, stored and administrated at the WDCC.
• In addition Mrs. Weather registers the primary data at the TIB (Primary data publication by STD-DOI/URN assignment)
• After quality assurance WDCC transmits to the TIB the URL where the data can be accessed, together with a XML-file containing all relevant metadata (generated from scientific data model)
• Including all information obligatory for the citing of electronic media (ISO 690-2)
• language• publisher• publishing date• publishing place
• The TIB is saving this information about the primary data and awards the primary data with a unique identifier for registration: a DOI
• DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a system for persistent and actionable identification and interoperable exchange of intellectual property on digital networks• Coordinated by the International DOI foundation (IDF)
These DOI can be resolved (and the data can be cited) in every browser worldwide in three ways:• http://dx.doi.org/10.1594/WDCC/W_Han_2003_MMB_2• http://doi.tib-hannover.de:8000/10.1594/WDCC/
• Mr. Storm is reading publications from Mrs. Weather in a journal and would like to analyse her data under different aspects.
• In his publication ”Comparison of the weather from Hannover and Miami” Mr. Storm cites Mrs. Weathers data using its DOI, refering to the uniqueness and own identity of the original data.
• Citation example: Weather, 2003: Weather in Hannover for 2003. [doi: 10.1594/WDCC/W_Han_2003_MMB_2]
• A Handle server is installed at the TIB Hannover, so TIB is able to register and resolve DOIs.
• The TIB officially received a DOI Prefix (10.1594)• The first data sets have been stored at the TIB by hand.• The automatic registration process is under
