Data Citation and Data Attribution A View from the Data Center Perspective Bruce E. Wilson Group Lead, Client & Collaboration Technologies Oak Ridge National Laboratory Adjunct Professor of Information Sciences University of Tennessee For presentation at: Developing Data Attribution and Citation Practices and Standards Workshop August 22-23, 2011 Berkeley, CA USA
My Data Center Perspectives ORNL DAAC (NASA biogeochemical dynamics/ecology) Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE) Private industry (material sciences/catalysis) ORNL IT Division & Library ARM Archive (DOE) National Biological Information Infrastructure USA National Phenology Network 2
I didnt know I was a data person Format migration ?? 3
Data Center Incentives for Attribution Ensure data generators get credit for their work Ensure data center gets credit for hosting data Understand what data is/is not being used Identifiers help find more examples 4
ORNL DAAC Citation Example Cite this data set as follows: Gu J. J., E. A. Smith, and H. J. Cooper. 2006. LBA-ECO CD-07 GOES-8 L3 Gridded Surface Radiation and Rain Rate for Amazonia: 1999. Data set. Available on-line [http://www.daac.ornl.gov] from Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, U.S.A. doi:10.3334/ORNLDAAC/831. Key points: Names those who created the data set Tells where to find the data Persistent identifier 5
Data Center Roles/Responsibilities Be agile, but take the long view. Provide stability Use persistent identifiers Technical, social, organizational sustainability Encourage use Make it easy for users COinS simplifies loading into bibliographic tools http://ocoins.info/ Examples in documentation Work on challenges What does the identifier point to? Handle continuous data, subsetting, on demand data Scalability of the data management process 6
Examples of Citation Use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_global_vegetation_model http://blog.andersonruhoff.com/2010/03/three-lba-eco-data-sets-released.html Document describing a proposed reforestation project http://cdm.unfccc.int/UserManagement/FileStorage/DJISY MVG9RKHTCPU53X4BZA0NW8O2L Changing Climates, Earth Systems and Society By John Dodson http://www.indiana.edu/~anthro/people/faculty/brondizio.html 7
Growth in Cited versus Referred ORNL DAAC requests that data be cited in list of references; some authors refer to data in text or acknowledgements Number Courtesy of Bob Cook, ORNL DAAC Note: Multiple weeks of effort/year by ORNL Library and ORNL DAAC staff to assemble and manage this information. Cited: The ORNL DAAC data set is in the bibliography, in the requested format Referred: We infer, from the text of the article, that one or more ORNL DAAC data sets were used in the work. 8
