    Wie FAIR sind unsere Metadaten? : Eine Analyse der Metadaten in den Repositorien des TIB-DOI-Services
    (Marburg : Philipps-Universität, 2021) Burger, Marleen; Cordts, Anette; Habermann, Ted
    Im vorliegenden Erfahrungsbericht stellen wir eine Metadatenanalyse vor, welche die Metadatenqualität von 144 Repositorien des TIB-DOI-Service im Hinblick auf die Erfüllung der FAIR Data Principles, Konsistenz und Vollständigkeit untersucht. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass der Fokus der untersuchten Repositorien schwerpunktmäßig auf der Auffindbarkeit der mit Metadaten beschriebenen Ressourcen liegt und im Gesamtdurchschnitt über die Metadaten-Pflichtfelder hinaus nur wenige weitere Metadaten angegeben werden. Insbesondere mit Blick auf eine angestrebte bessere Nachnutzbarkeit sowie eine stärkere Verknüpfung mit anderen in Beziehung stehenden persistenten Identifikatoren wie ORCID, ROR ID oder DOI-zu-DOI-Beziehungen mit zitierten oder zitierenden Ressourcen, bestehen noch ungenutzte Potenziale, die im Sinne einer offenen, zukunftsweisenden Wissenschaft erschlossen werden sollten. Dahingegen zeigt unsere Analyse auch einzelne Repositorien mit umfangreichen Metadaten als Best-Practice-Beispiele auf, an denen sich andere Repositorien orientieren können. Insgesamt ermöglicht die durchgeführte Metadatenanalyse die Ableitung von Handlungsempfehlungen zur passgenauen Beratung von Repositorien, die ihre Metadatenqualität verbessern möchten.

    Call to action for global access to and harmonization of quality information of individual earth science datasets

    Knowledge about the quality of data and metadata is important to support informed decisions on the (re)use of individual datasets and is an essential part of the ecosystem that supports open science. Quality assessments reflect the reliability and usability of data. They need to be consistently curated, fully traceable, and adequately documented, as these are crucial for sound decision- and policy-making efforts that rely on data. Quality assessments also need to be consistently represented and readily integrated across systems and tools to allow for improved sharing of information on quality at the dataset level for individual quality attribute or dimension. Although the need for assessing the quality of data and associated information is well recognized, methodologies for an evaluation framework and presentation of resultant quality information to end users may not have been comprehensively addressed within and across disciplines. Global interdisciplinary domain experts have come together to systematically explore needs, challenges and impacts of consistently curating and representing quality information through the entire lifecycle of a dataset. This paper describes the findings of that effort, argues the importance of sharing dataset quality information, calls for community action to develop practical guidelines, and outlines community recommendations for developing such guidelines. Practical guidelines will allow for global access to and harmonization of quality information at the level of individual Earth science datasets, which in turn will support open science.

    Persistent Identification Of Instruments
    (Ithaka : Cornell University, 2020) Stocker, Markus; Darroch, Louise; Krahl, Rolf; Habermann, Ted; Devaraju, Anusuriya; Schwardmann, Ulrich; D'Onofrio, Claudio; Häggström, Ingemar
    Instruments play an essential role in creating research data. Given the importance of instruments and associated metadata to the assessment of data quality and data reuse, globally unique, persistent and resolvable identification of instruments is crucial. The Research Data Alliance Working Group Persistent Identification of Instruments (PIDINST) developed a community-driven solution for persistent identification of instruments which we present and discuss in this paper. Based on an analysis of 10 use cases, PIDINST developed a metadata schema and prototyped schema implementation with DataCite and ePIC as representative persistent identifier infrastructures and with HZB (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie) and BODC (British Oceanographic Data Centre) as representative institutional instrument providers. These implementations demonstrate the viability of the proposed solution in practice. Moving forward, PIDINST will further catalyse adoption and consolidate the schema by addressing new stakeholder requirements.
