1. 1 Interactions between the Marine Data Harmonization IG and Data Citation WG

2. 2  RDA Collaboration meeting, Karlsruhe: joint workshop at 6 th Plenary  Data Citation WG webinar: preparation  RDA 6 th plenary: joint workshop  Co-chaired by:  Andi Rauber  Ari Asmi  Helen Glaves Adoption of DCWG outputs

3. 3  Develop a plan for the evaluation and potential adoption of the outcomes of the Data Citation WG for the citation of dynamic data by the marine community  Identify a small number of suitable use cases  Evaluate potential proposal for the RDA Collaboration call Plenary Objectives

4. 4  Citation of static datasets well defined  Marine data capture and delivery is becoming increasingly dynamic  Increasing need to be able to unambiguously cite these evolving datasets  Repositories responsible for archiving the data must be able to identify and provide access to a specific instance of the dataset at a given point in time Citation of dynamic marine data

5. 5  Aims & objectives  Resolve the ambiguity in the syntax for citation of dynamic data  Agree and ratify a common syntax for dynamic data citation  Publish results in authoritative documentation e.g. DataCite metadata schema  Implement dynamic data citation for Argo data RDA collaboration project proposal

6. 6 Use case: Argo Data  Apply the 14 DCWG recommendations to legacy Argo data architecture  Validate proposed methodology for real- world exemplar  Provide template for adoption of the proposed solution by other disciplines

7. 7  Argo data  Held by several international data centres  IFREMER  NCEI (formerly NOAA National Climatic Data Center, the National Geophysical Data Center, and the National Oceanographic Data Center  BODC Application scenario

8. 8  Validation of method using a real world exemplar  Results reported to RDA via DCWG and MDH IG  Feed into related activities in ENVRIplus, EUDAT etc. Outcomes

9. 9 Status  Strong community built, great interest  Recommendations published  Longer paper under review  More groups seeing that this might make sense  First non-WGDC pilot implementations initiated  Pilot projects (RDA Europe) seem promising idea  Further implementation options being evaluated and funding requested WGDC & others – ways forward

10. 10 Needs voiced  Further explanations and dissemination  Discussion and feedback from pilots  Practical issues concerning implementation  Integration with citation mechanisms  Distributed data sources  Atypical types of data  Understanding long-term complexity  All these require feedback, lessons learned,  Which requires more implementations  Which require a framework to enable them WGDC & others – ways forward

11. 11 Potential steps forward  Many WG outputs may profit from take-up feedback (beyond the initial validations within the WG)  Ways to enforce such take-up across WGs/IGs and regional boundaries?  Rolling deadlines, small-scale, individual projects  Launching larger projects: Implementing several WGs’ outputs across several data centers  Further WGDC support  Dissemination, help with implementation, WG/IG co-op.  Coordinating feedback, writing up lessons-learned  Addressing open issues (distrib. data, stability, data types) Implementations
