STD-DOI

The project Publication and Citation of Scientific Primary Data (STD-DOI) was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) from 2003 to 2009. Its aim was to make primary scientific data citeable as publications. Part of the project was to add a persistent identifier to each data citation for reliable access. As an identifier the DOI (Digital Object Identfier) of the IDF (International DOI Fundation) was choosen. The first data set with a DOI, automaticaly registered by the webservice of TIB, was available on the Internet 2005-01-06T10:14:02

The technicaly was fully implemented through the STD-DOI project but its acceptance and use by the scientific community will last for some time. One of the examples of a stand alone citable data set, later on used and cited in a publication is
