Who Are We?
DOI’s Within TERN Ecoinformatics
Our Products
• ÆKOS (Australian Ecological Knowledge
and Observation System)
• SHaRED (Submission, Harmonisation
and Retrieval of Ecological Data)
• Soils2Satellites
DOI’s Within TERN Ecoinformatics
Why Do We Create DOI’s?
•
Easy and persistent access to research data
•
Permanent link to data submitted to TERN Eco-informatics AEKOS via SHaRED
•
Permanent link to downloads created for extract in Soils2Satellites
What does this help our users with?
• Creation/management/identification of new collections - S2S
• Simplifying discovery, retrieval and download of data from our applications

How Do We Generate DOI’s
TERN Eco-informatics has developed a DOI Minting Client that interfaces with the
TERN Central DOI Minting Service API.
•
Crosswalks between SHaRED meta-information model and the DataCite Resource
schema
•
Generates the Resource XML definition
•
Securely posts an xml document to the DOI Minting service, including a home
landing page URL
•
Receives a DataCite DOI, which is included with the SHaRED/ÆKOS or S2S
data/metadata collection records

Issues
• How to address data being continually updated?
• Should all ÆKOS data extracts automatically receive
a DOI?
• How can a DOI link back to the originating portal?
Why Have We Developed Our Products
In common with many other national and international initiatives such as
DataONE (www.dataone.org) in the US, TERN Eco-informatics is concerned
with the ongoing management of the large numbers of datasets covering
the “long tail” of funded research.
The “long tail” refers to the many thousands of small projects with small,
discrete datasets as compared to the few large national databases that form
the core of ÆKOS.
