[Rdap] CrossRef or Other DOIs for Data Sets

[Lake, Sherry Heitchew (sah)]

Hi Alvin and the rest of RDAP,

UVa has subscribed to EZID (through the CDL) to get ALL of our DOIs. We have an ETD repository (based on Hydra-Sufia) and a data repository (our local instance of Dataverse).

The DOIs for our data repository are generated by EZID and metadata sent to DataCIte.

The DOIs for our ETD repository are also generated by EZID, but then sent to CrossRef.

Here’s the EZID page that describes which EZID accounts are eligible to use this CrossRef service.

http://ezid.cdlib.org/learn/crossref_faq

Our thought was datasets should be described using DataCite metadata (meant for data) and ETDs (and eventually our Open Access materials) would be better suited going into CrossRef and with EZID it both is possible.

I’ll be glad to answer any questions.

Subject: [Rdap] CrossRef or Other DOIs for Data Sets

Does anyone feel strongly about using (or not using) a certain flavor of DOI for research data sets?

We are the CrossRef registration agency for the Smithsonian and we’ve been doing publications for years but lately have been approached by scientists who want a DOI both for link permanence and citability.

Would anyone recommend against using CrossRef in favor of another DOI type? And if so, which one(s)?


Please pardon my ignorance and let me know if there’s something obvious I am missing.

Thanks,

Alvin
