Beschreibung
The improvement of data exchange between research communities and public authorities in Germany is frequently discussed. Both the research data infrastructure in the Earth and environmental sciences and the German Geospatial Data Infrastructure (GDI-DE) are highly developed systems. However, the respective communities tend to operate largely within their own domains. This separation is not only due to established expertise within each community, but also to the use of different metadata standards and interfaces. As a result, the associated data portals emphasize different aspects of information.
Within GDI-DE, spatial (geo-)data are described in great technical detail, whereas scientific communities place particular importance on the proper citation of authors and organizations. To increase mutual acceptance and to foster data exchange between both communities, existing interfaces should be adapted accordingly. In particular, improving the comprehensive display of citation-related information in GDI-DE portals would enhance their acceptance within the research community.
However, the ISO metadata standard currently used by GDI-DE does not provide metadata elements or designated structures in the UML model for persistent identifiers (PIDs) for persons and organizations. To address this gap, a new chapter is currently being introduced into the “Konventionen der GDI-DE”, incorporating requirements from a scientific perspective.
This poster presents details and practical examples of the proposed approach and advocates for the implementation of the new convention, enabling the display of persistent identifiers for researchers from ORCID and for organizations from the ROR registry within GDI-DE and INSPIRE portals.
