[Rdap] FW: Research is collaborative, but what about data?

Thu Oct 18 15:37:28 EDT 2012

Here's a news post from ICPSR:
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/support/announcements/2012/10/thomson-reuters-launches-data-citation

We had a Thomson Reuters (TR) rep here at UVa a couple of weeks ago. The Data Citation Index is only an index of metadata harvested from specific data repositories. The TR web page lists the repositories. Our rep said that TR indexers also add other metadata. It's an additional cost from TR.

Anybody know about or involved with the Thomson Reuters data indexing product below?
It looks very interesting.
The white paper is attached. Here’s an excerpt:

“Working with prominent champions of data sharing, including leading research libraries and digital repositories, such as the California Digital library, iCPSr, Protein Data bank, Pangaea, and UK Data archive, among others, Thomson Reuters developed the Data Citation index. Designed to be a single source of data discovery for the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Data Citation index fully indexes a significant number of the world’s leading data repositories of critical interest to the scientific community, including over two million data studies and datasets.”

“Data is not like a narrative—you don’t know its value and utility until it’s used. In this regard, housing it in a repository has until now been a dead end. The Data Citation Index from Thomson Reuters is turning that tide.”
-John Kunze, Associate Director
California Digital Library

The Data Citation Index<http://app.info.science.thomsonreuters.biz/e/er?s=1556&lid=9786&elq=4aa45f295e2a41cabde32d8fa4fa3f32>SM is coming soon to Web of KnowledgeSM. See how Thomson Reuters is working to help solve the issues of discovery, attribution and measurement in data sharing to support:

  *   Advancing scholarship
  *   Increasing transparency
  *   Promoting work in new ways
  *   Curbing double-funding
