Hgrobe: /* DOI provision service for reports and grey literature by PANGAEA/TIB */

== Digital Object Identifier (DOI) ==

DOIs provide [[persistent identifier|persistent links]] to scholarly content, helping users get to the authoritative, published version of the content they are searching for, even when the content changes location or ownership. With about 35 Million registered DOI for publications (2009), the system is established and consequently used by scientific publishers and organisations.

Through the project '''[[STD-DOI]]''', the TIB (German National Library of Science and Technology, Hannover) was established as an agency for '''data DOI'''. PANGAEA among four data providers was the first system using DOI for automated persistent identification of data sets. A data DOI has the prefix '''10.1594''' which is assigned to the publication of primary data through the TIB. The suffix, separated by a slash, is composed of the data system or center acronym and a system specific part. In a Pangaea DOI, this part is equivalent to the '''internal ID''', automaticaly assigned to a data set by the relational database management system during import; thus the uniqueness of each DOI is assured.

A valid Pangaea-DOI has the syntax '''10.1594/PANGAEA.738357'''
* spelled {{doi|10.1594/PANGAEA.738357}}
* and resolved as https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.738357
----
Data citation and DOI are defined in three steps during the publication process:

* registry status ''will be registered'', then
* registry status ''registration is in the lead time'' with DOI registration in progress for '''30 days''' followed by
* registry status ''registered'' after transfer of the DOI to the DOI-registry > DOI can be resolved globally, e.g. at https://doi.org/
#If a data set is imported and the status is set to ''validated'', its internal ID can only be resolved as a '''preliminary DOI''' through ''doi.pangaea.de'' (PANGAEAs own DOI resolver). In the citation, the data set is identified as '''Dataset #738509'''
#If a data set status is set to ''published'', the internal ID is changed to a global resolvable '''technical DOI''' 4 weeks after the last edit and the data set gets the status [[Citation|citable]]. In the citation, the data set is identified as '''Dataset #738509 (DOI registration in progress)''', changing after 4 weeks to '''doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.82361''' which can be resolved globally.
#On request the dataset can be defined as an offical '''data publication''' and is thus added to the library catalog of the TIB, see [[citation]].

[[PangaVista]] and the [http://doi.pangaea.de/ DOI resolver of PANGAEA] can be used for any registered DOI, including preliminary DOIs of Pangaea.

If a data set to be archived in Pangaea already has a DOI from an other repository, this citation will be indicated with its citation as "other version" in the metadata header.

In case a registered data set has to be deleted, in the field ''other version'' the link/DOI to the substitute must be given '''before''' deletion.
* Example: [http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.58757 doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.58757]

== Prerequisites to become an agent for the registration of scientific primary data ==
Any data provider, interested in assigning DOI for data may use one of the agents listed below or become a new agent of the ''data-DOI'' agency TIB. When establishing a data system/center new agents need to assure the following points defined through a '''concept''' and a '''[[data policy]]''':
* '''Metadata'''
** metadata are mandatory and should follow standards of the specific scientific field the data are covering (e.g. ISO19115 for geo-data)
** data sets must be accompanied by a citation, consisting of bibliographic fields according to the STD-DOI application profile
* '''Access and availibility'''
** long-term availability must be assured, stable linking is provided by means of a DOI
** data must be available online, assuring Open Access to metadata; Open Access to data is highly recommended (access restrictions may appear for a moratorium period); data should be provided under a CC-[[license]]
** it is highly recommended, that data are ''machine readable'', giving data in the repository an ''added values''. This means, that
*** (1) data are provided in a standard technical format (best is ascii and ISO formats)
*** (2) data are organized in a way, that further processing of any part of the repository can easily be performed (data model, relational database)
** a full [[backup]] of the data repository must be assured
* '''Data review and integrity'''
** once registered, data sets are static
** versioning is allowed, different versions should be linked to each other
** data curation must include an editorial process with proofread by the author/principle investigator (the author is responsible for the scientific quality of the data!)
** an external peer-review of data publications is recommended

== DOI provision service for reports and grey literature by PANGAEA/TIB ==
For reports and grey literature such as Master or PhD theses a DOI can be assigned by the TIB. The DOI prefix for these kinds of documents is 10.2312.

For submitting documents as PDF to TIB: 
1) Put all PDF files into one directory. The file names of the PDF files have to be the suffix of the DOI (case sensitive!). 
2) Create a control file for [[Intern:PanXML]]. See also [[File:Metadata_grey_literature_v3.pdf|Metadata for grey literature]] 
3) Execute the control file with [[Intern:PanXML]]. 

PanXML creates an XML file for each DOI. Send all PDF files together with XML files to TIB (Frauke Ziedorn or Britta Dreyer) in one zip archive.

Hgrobe: /* Link and abstract */

'''DataCite''' is a group of leading research libraries and technical information providers that established a partnership to improve access to research data on the Internet. The MoU was signed 2009-12-01 in the embassy of Germany in London.

Members:
* German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB)
* British Library
* Library of ETH Zurich
* French Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (INIST)
* Technical Information Center of Denmark
* Dutch TU Delft Library
* Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (CISTI)
* Australian National Data Service (ANDS)
* California Digital Library (CDL)
* Purdue University Libraries (PUL)

The goal of this cooperation is to establish a not-for-profit agency
that enables organisations to register research datasets and assign
persistent identifiers, so that research datasets can be handled
as independent, citable, unique scientific objects (like ''crossref for data'').

As a first step, this agency will build on an approach developed by TIB
and promote the use of Digital Object Identifiers ([[DOI]]) for datasets.

DataCite is a result of the project "Publication and Citation of
Scientific Primary Data" ([[STD-DOI]]), which was funded by the German
Science Foundation (DFG).

'''DataCite – International consortium for data citation''' (Jan Brase/TIB)

Access to research data is nowadays defined as part of the national responsibilities and in recent years most national science organisations have addressed the need to increase the awareness of, and the accessibility to, research data.
Nevertheless science itself is international; scientists are involved in global unions and projects, they share their scientific information with colleagues all over the world, they use national as well as foreign information providers.

When facing the challenge of increasing access to research data, a possible approach should be global cooperation for data access via national representatives.

- a global cooperation, because scientists work globally, scientific data are created and accessed globally.
- with national representatives, because most scientists are embedded in their national funding structures and research organisations .

DataCite was officially launched on December 1st 2009 in London and has 12 information institutions and libraries from 9 countries as members. By assigning DOI names to data sets, data becomes citable and can easily be linked to from scientific publications.

Data integration with text is an important aspect of scientific collaboration. DataCite takes global leadership for promoting the use of persistent identifiers for datasets, to satisfy the needs of scientists. Through its members, it establishs and promotes common methods, best practices, and guidance. The member organisations work independently with data centres and other holders of research data sets in their own domains. Based on the work of TIB as the first DOI-Registration Agency for data, DataCite has registered over 800,000 research objects with DOI names, thus starting to bridge the gap between data centers and publishers.

The software '''PanGet''' is a special tool for the download of multiple data sets from PANGAEA. It uses the PANGAEA data set ID which is unique and part of the [[DOI]]. In a first step a list of ID's of those data sets to be downloaded must be created. There are two choices to define this individual collection of sets. Based on the ID list, the tool will download the data sets. Failed downloads are written to the file *_failed.txt. The functionality of PanGet is also part of the program [[Pan2Applic]] (choose File > Download PANGAEA datasets...) and [[PanTool]]2 (choose Basic tools > Download PANGAEA datasets...).

'''Find the current version and reference of PanGet at [http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.804562?format=html doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.804562]'''

----

== Installation ==

Open {{doi|10.1594/PANGAEA.804562}} and click on "View dataset as HTML". Download the current version of PanGet to your computer.

=== Windows ===
Double-click PanGet_Win.exe and follow the instructions. If the '''MSVCR120.dll''' is missing on your computer, you have to install the [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013] from Microsoft.

=== OS X ===
Double-click PanGet_OSX.dmg and drag and drop the file PanGet.app onto the application folder icon.

=== Linux ===
Uncompress the archive to your user bin directory. Double-click PanGet.sh.

== Create a list of PANGAEA dataset IDs ==
there are two choices:
* a) create a '''list of IDs with the PANGAEA search engine'''
** define a query which lists all data sets needed (e.g. https://www.pangaea.de/?t=Paleontology&q=SST)
** copy and paste the URL into the "PANGAEA Query URL" field.
* b) sometimes the download of a single dat set can be useful. In this case the data set ID can added to the query field (try 123456 or dataset123456).
* c) create a '''list of IDs with the 4D client''' (for curators only, you need [[4D]])
** open the dataset table and configure the datset ID in the first column and the “Export filename” in the second one
** search for the dataset selection you want with the search tab
** save the resulting list as a text file. (Note: 4D can download a list with max. 30,000 data sets!)

== Create a list of URLs ==
PanGet can also be used for downloading individual files from the Internet. Create a list with one or two columns. The first column has to be named "URL", the second "File name". If the second column is not given, PanGet will be extracted the filename from the URL.

=== Example ===
To download several or all OFOS pictures from dataset doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.862082 at once, you have to create a list of URLs first. (Please be aware that a fast connection to the Internet is needed, because each image is about 10MB in size.)

# Download the dataset [https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.862082 doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.862082] as tab-delimited text.
# Open the dataset with a spreadsheet program like Excel or LibreOffice and extract column 'URL image'. Save it as txt to a new file. Header of column must be 'URL'.
# Create a folder where the images should be downloaded into.
# Start PanGet. Browse for the txt file with the URL list (called 'ID List' in PanGet) and browse for the new folder (called 'Download directory' in PanGet), then click 'Go' – the image download will start immediately, but depending on the amount of images you are downloading it will take some time.

If you want to download images from more than one dataset (e.g. from a specific area) you can go to the PANGAEA search page ([https://www.pangaea.de www.pangaea.de]) and search for datasets (e.g. search for 'ANTofos' and additionally define a geographic bounding box (Google map on the right of the search page)). Or search for specific stations using the 'OR' quotation (e.g. 'PS96/001-4 OR PS96/007-1 OR PS96/008-2'). Then click on 'Data Warehouse' (right above the Google map of the search page, login needed). Here you can choose the parameters which you want to download. Choose 'Uniform resource locator/link to image' and press 'download'. Proceed with points 2 to 4 as described above.

== Download ==
[[File:Download_PANGAEA_datasets.png|thumb|right|Download PANGAEA datasets dialog]]
* Start PanGet or [[Pan2Applic]] or [[PanTool]] (File > Download PANGAEA datasets...), copy and paste the URL into the "PANGAEA Query URL" field, and/or open the file just created
* Browse to your download directory
* Set the prefered encoding of data sets to be stored
* Set the extension of data sets to be stored
* Choose one or more download options (download data file, download citation, download metadata as xml)
* Click '''Go'''. PanGet downloads all data sets sequentialy, progress is shown. The download time depends on the number and size of the data sets.

The resulting collection of files may be compiled and converted to other formats using the tool [[Pan2Applic]].
