Leverage Expertise and Resources of Others
Community-Driven Data ManagementCase Study 1: Data Identifiers
Used Testbed to Evaluate Various Identifier Schemes DOI, LSID, OID, PURL, ARK, UUID, XRI, Handles, URI/URN/URL Evaluated each against set criteria http://bit.ly/wSJFCA
Governance: Community-defined problem Developed review criteria Each identifier reviewed against established criteria Community analysis of results Published Results in Journal of Earth Science Informatics,
Volume 4, Number 3, 139-160, DOI: 10.1007/s12145-011-0083-6
Implementation/Additional Testing Through California Digital Library
Community-Driven Data ManagementCase Study 2: Data Citation Guidelines
