Publishing Official Datasets Toby Green OECD Publishing 4th Bloomsbury Conference on e-Publishing and ePublications 24th and 25th June , 2010 Publishing Official Data in cool ways since 1961
Climategate! investigation reveals scientific concern about missing tree ring data. The Guardian, January 2010 Would it have been lost had it been properly published and curated?
Should we rely on authors to self-publish data? Data is not second class stuff. It should be just as easy to: peer review publish cite as research articles.
We simply need the existing scholarly publishing toolkit: review mechanism metadata doi identifiers CrossRef
So, whereas for books we have this: Heres one OECD prepared earlier . . . For datasets we could have this: But data is not the same as an article or book chapter,
Sub-sets can be published. Sub-sets: each has unique identifier, with links to the mother dataset Data subset series Homepage DOI: 1234.56/Series Subset 1 Homepage
DOI link to: Main dataset DOI: 1234.56/Subset#1 Subset 2 Homepage DOI link to: Main dataset DOI: 1234.56/Subset#2 Subset 3
DOI link to: Main dataset Homepage DOI: 1234.56/Subset#3 The same data can have a different rendition or graphical interface Datasets with multiple renditions: same identifier
Dataset Homepage Rendition 1 Rendition 2 Rendition 3 Datasets can grow.
Our current solution is to give them the same explainidentifier the growth in the and metadata Datasets can change. Our current solution is to
give them a NEW identifier, explain the change in the metadata, and provide a link back to the original dataset. Read all about it! http://doi.org/abr
