UC Libraries & Collaboration

A systemwide, strategic approach to the development of library collections and services has emphasized multi-campus collaboration, the application of new technology, and expanded University-wide sharing of the information resources within the UC library collections.

• EZID• Research CyberInfrastructure (RCI)• Lessons Learned

2014 Kathleen A. Zar Symposium Data: Collecting, Using, Managing

Today’s recipe

• Precise identification of a dataset (DOI or ARK)

• Credit to data producers and data publishers

• A link from the traditional literature to the data

• Exposure and research metrics for datasets(Web of Knowledge, Google)

Primary Functions1. Create long term identifiers

2. Manage identifiers (and associated metadata) over time

3. Resolve identifiers

EZIDLong term identifiers made easy
