Data

Slide 6

Slide 6 text

Darwin Core mapping •  Almost always too complex for IPT interface: – SQL view – R script •  Documented •  Versioned

Slide 7

Slide 7 text

Darwin Core mapping review •  Review by colleague: – Valid DwC-A? – Clear to outside user? – As agreed? •  Documented/tested as whip specifications Whip specifications github.com/inbo/whip

Slide 8

Slide 8 text

Support iterative review •  Generate DwC-A without publishing •  Plug-in validation

Metadata

Slide 10

Slide 10 text

Rethink metadata •  12 metadata tabs in the IPT •  All seem to have equal importance

Slide 11

Slide 11 text

Focus on basic metadata •  Focus on required metadata •  Collapse optional metadata

Slide 12

Slide 12 text

Basic metadata •  DOI •  Publisher •  Language •  Resource type •  License •  Title •  Creators (authors) •  Description (abstract) •  Subjects (keywords) •  Publication date DataCite Metadata Schema schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.3/

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

Basic metadata Is what appears on other platforms

Slide 14

Slide 14 text

Additional metadata •  Indicate as optional •  Coverage: derive from data •  Methodology: mostly as data paper

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

Support collaboration/review •  Review by collaborators: – Author list – Description – Methodology •  IPT better at this than Zenodo

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

Improve usability •  Authors – Name, affiliation, ORCID – Allow reordering – Author registry •  Metadata templates •  Dataset status

Slide 17

Slide 17 text

Publication

Slide 18

Slide 18 text

Deposit in research repository •  IPTs should not be long-term repositories •  Use: – Zenodo – DataONE member – Institutional

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

Versioning •  Updated data = new version •  Updated metadata != new version •  Each version has DOI •  One version-less DOI

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

Registration •  Keep separate from publication •  Single registry •  Allow registration with multiple communities – GBIF, OBIS, project, …
