DataONE Webinar Series: Building Collaborative Bridges

Several key themes have emerged that begin to define a path towards functional infrastructure. A central theme is the broad and careful use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for data, documents, data types, instruments, people, etc., so that computers can unambiguously identify and locate key resources and their descriptions. One particular use of identifiers is in data citation and referencing. Pulling from examples within the research data management community, this webinar will discuss data citation infrastructures, solutions, and challenges. We will talk about social and technological bridges that enable and support open data sharing, and the importance (and challenges) of capturing relationships across research and datasets.
