DataCite in the UK Jez Cope, Data Services Lead, The British Library
What is DataCite? DataCite exists to make data citable This requires a unique, persistent, resolvable identifier DataCite provides infrastructure to assign DOIs to datasets plus software, theses, presentations, www.bl.uk 2
Back to basics: Anatomy of a DOI A prefix, 10.#### , and a suffix, separated by / Assign a prefix to data centres unique to an organisation The format of the suffix is determined by the data centre unique for each object 10.5072/chosen_by.DataCentre-1 PrefixSuffix These are used to form URLs by adding the resolving domain, e.g: https://doi.org/10.5072/chosen_by.DataCentre-1 www.bl.uk
DataCite timeline 2009: DataCite founded with 7 members 2010-13: DataCite metadata specification released Shared technical infrastructure established First UK data centres sign up Version 3 of Metadata Schema released 2014: 26 UK clients, 19 DataCite members and 4 million DOIs 2015: 56 UK clients, 5.7m DOIs, 24 members 2019: 94 UK clients incl. 71 HEIs, 471k UK DOIs, 18.4m total DOIs, 144 members www.bl.uk
How do I get DataCite DOIs (as an organisation)? Option 1: Use an existing data centre E.g. Zenodo, UK Data Service, Jisc Open Research Hub, Option 2: Join a consortium (e.g. British Library in the UK) Costs shared across consortium Local support & community Option 3: Become a direct member Most expensive Voting rights at DataCite general assembly www.bl.uk 5

Current and future plans Improving three-way communications: DataCite, British Library, data centres Simplifications to membership model Making DOIs accessible to smaller institutions More identifier services CrossRef? ISNI? Let us know what you need British Library open access repository www.bl.uk 7
