 Okay, so hello everyone and yeah, thanks for joining us so early in the morning We'll try to make this fun and entertaining and I'm Gabi Mejias I work at data site as a community and program manager and for those of us who are For those of you who are new to data site. We're a nonprofit organization. We were created in 2009 by and for the research community Our vision is to connect research and to identify knowledge and we do so by enabling DOI and metadata registration and This is us at the CSV comf Mary my colleague Arturo and myself and Organizations join data site as institutional members To connect their repositories and start registering DOI's and identifying the research data but also other resources and outputs and currently we have more than 280 members across 50 countries overall these members or included in these 280 members we have 56 consortia. So overall we have more than a thousand Research institutions that have connected the repositories and so far we have 41 million DOI's in our registry and We have or we identify a wide range of research resources and outputs Datasets are the most common resource type in our registry, but we also identify Collections software images pre prints models workflows and we also Specialized in great a great well great and great literature like thesis dissertations report technical standards and more Hi everyone, so I hope you're going to enjoy this slightly tenuous metaphor. This is a story of polyamory or polyamory in Spanish The story begins with DOI's and metadata They are a match made in heaven on the left we see DOI and On the right as you're looking at the screen is some Data site metadata This is the creator property from the data site metadata schema So a DOI is whilst DOI stands for digital object identifier and it's a type of persistent identifier Persistent identifiers are long-lasting identifiers that are assigned to a specific entity so Here we see a DOI which is a special resolvable URL and these are registered in the global handle server and They always point to the same resource. So there we see an example of a repository landing page from dryad and The DOI infrastructure is Managed by the DOI foundation They are a different organization, but they also a non-profit not-for-profit organization And so they manage this open community owned infrastructure This builds trust Metadata maybe some of you not so familiar with it is a specific set of information designed to provide a description of a resource Metadata is essential so that research outputs can be discovered and reused and Data site the main data site metadata scheme is developed by the metadata working group who are an amazing group of volunteers and All of the data site metadata is openly available with a CC zero license So it can be harvested via one of our APIs by anyone metadata describes things so Some of the examples from data sites metadata schema of description properties would be subject rights and description and metadata also wants to connect with other pits and here is where we See the polyamorous Relationship so in the middle here you see the Research output which has a DOI assigned to it and Through the different Properties of the data site metadata schema This research output can be connected to many other things. So for example, we have Funding reference field which connects to raw identifiers affiliation identifier also connecting to raw IDs Researchers with their orchid IDs and other Related resources through the related identifiers property for example other DOIs would be the Obvious choice So DOIs and metadata form a consensual open relationship and This is the contributor field from or property from the data type metadata schema in XML and what you're seeing here is the information about the contributor in this case is the project leader That's a controlled vocabulary field and we see here in the scheme URI Sorry in the name identifier field the orchid ID of that And also to Mention very importantly is the subject classification We use the fields of science and technology as a standard classification, but you can enter Any subject scheme there? So together DOIs metadata and other kids make research data fair Through this persistent open infrastructure, which includes interoperable links And metadata that can be cited and reused and reproduced Yeah, so they are really a fundamental part of the fair principles and This generates credit for researchers who share research outputs Citations we're all familiar with Citations between publications so researchers citing other publications in their articles We want to make it the norm to cite research data in research articles as well and We recently launched the global data citation corpus, which will really Increase the number of data citations that we're able to expose and so DOIs metadata and other kids are all part of a big and loving community which includes Roar crossref all kids as other persistent identifier organizations as well as organizations like NISO RDA 411 and of course CSV conf Very important to mention that persistent identifiers and their metadata are the building blocks of research infrastructure and To extend the metaphor we can say that the same way Polly Amary is changing the status quo in Relationships open infrastructure drives change in research culture increasing transparent transparency and Recognition in scholarship which can also lead to more incentives and hopefully also more rewards for open research practices and the connections and All these open relationships we've been discussing between Pids and metadata Form the pit graph Which can be queried using the data site graph QL API and through user interface called data site commons and these enables searches by DOIs for works orchid ID for individuals and Roar identifiers for organizations and You can also search the data site registry For example, if you enter the word the keyword polyamory, you can retrieve all the works that contain polyamory in the metadata and You can also in this case, you can see the the data sets and the work that sites this data set in this case, it's a journal article and Through the links in the metadata. It's possible to find other related entities like the creators of the data sets and obviously their orchid IDs and see their profiles and We can conclude that open metadata and polyamory have a lot in common Open persistent identifiers and their metadata lead to more Transparency integrity trust communication and equity in research Thank you Thank you so much. We now have time for some questions. So we'll start from the back and work our way up Ring what sort of user research team who do I identify the metadata that you want to include in your email The metadata working group that I mentioned they work with our technical community manager and they actually have a an open feedback process for every iteration of the metadata schema, so it's actually now there's a Kind of web page where you can go and a github Like form where you can submit feedback Any so anyone can go there to submit feedback and then that's kind of curated and Obviously, yeah prioritized in terms of what works for each because you know, not everything can be included changes are very small but yeah, we definitely have an open feedback process for that and also to mention that The data sites metadata schema currently we are on version 4.4 And it's actually a standard used globally by many organizations and every year We launch a call for participation for new members of our metadata working group So if anyone's interested stay tuned in our blog or in our social networks or let us know and we'll share that information with you The next time we open the call for participation I So I just wanted to know what is the difference between standard and let's say dekat Is there any difference because even that like the dekat is data catalog vocabulary, I think So used by ccan and others. So like what is the difference or is it the same? It's just another standard The I'm not familiar. Is it dekat dekat DC ad. It's a type of metadata schema. Is it correct? Yeah, there are there are different metadata schemas doubling the data side metadata schemas based on Dublin Corp But it's a standard that's used specifically by data site for data site DOIs So any organization that wants to register a DOI there are six properties that are mandatory and There are there's lots of let's say Interoperability between different metadata schemas. So we actually Allow DOIs can be registered with like schema org for example Jason LD and then that's kind of transformed into data site XML But our standard is in XML format and it's a specific schema for data site So Repositories have their own like metadata But we have to have like a standard that's specifically for data site DOIs One more question with respect to DOIs So a lot of open data platforms, let's say especially ones developed on top of ccan You know, they don't have like out of the box. There's no DOI Even if you publish any data on ccan, you will not get you will have to get a COI from some other platform Which that service or which provides that service like ZenOdo or so but Essentially with then what you're doing is you're depositing your data two or three different places One just to get a DOI So because DOIs are expensive and there's a whole process around it So is there like especially for smaller data platforms like what is the process to best process to get this DOI at easily? Yeah, I guess there I mean There are generalist repositories that you say like ZenOdo So if the requirement is for any a small number of DOIs then that's a good solution But we do we yeah clearly it's not good to have the same resource deposited in in different places and So we have consortium Leads in different places across the world that can help with the smaller organizations to get a DOI Yeah, because essentially an organization needs to have a data-side membership or be part of a consortium in order to register DOIs So yeah, I mean that's apart from the generous repository is There's not really you need the secant has a plug-in that allows you to register DOIs, but Yeah, you need credentials you need to be able to register those DOIs for your organization And just a comment to your remark that the OIs are expensive the OIs have a cost Infrastructure has a cost it takes a lot of investment to develop run it maintain it and innovate it and Again, we're a non-profit organizations and we're governed by our member organizations and yeah We we bought we operate on a cost recovery model and the cost of not having your data or your outputs identified and lose visibility and Do not give credit to your researchers. It's more it's higher than Data-side membership. So just a comment on that. All right, let's give Gabby and Mary a round of applause. Thank you so much
