Discovery
How to determine which dataset you want based on several similar looking collections
- distinguishing between different types of datasets
- descriptions aren’t always helpful
- crawling catalog links, automated harvesting
- determining the popularity of the data for research
- “yelp” for collections, “this data was useful” or “this data is crappy”
- maybe use: http://schema.org/Review
Using DOIs for bidirectional links to research/publications and back to originating data
- Interesting Questions:
- What has this data been used for in research?
- What data was used for this research, can I reproduce this work?
- Dryad (http://wiki.datadryad.org/Main_Page):
- it involves submitting actual data, not pointers to the data
- Including DOI creation and citation as part of the process for data (not just publications)
- how to enforce this?
- incentives for data producers vs providers
- feeds back into the rating system
