move it?
Early in the research life cycle
With EZID: all your references, citations, links, etc. will be stable!

Making a career move
• Data-intensive research +
I know where my data is and I’m
taking it with me!

Meeting funder requirements
• Data-intensive research + • Grantor requirements for data management plan
How do we track the data?
What do we put here?

ARK vs DOI
http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt596nc6zg, Courtesy of the Anaheim Public Library
• both can work like regular hyperlinks.• both can refer to a
subset or portion of a resource.
• both become persistentwhen the target URL is maintained.
ARK vs DOI
• Flexible• Case-sensitive• Special features support granularity• Can be deleted• Inexpensive

ARK vs DOI
• Established brand in publishing• Indexed by major A&I citation databases • DataCite policies apply• Cannot be deleted• More costly
Next steps for EZID• Enhanced persistence support
– Automated link checking– Tombstone pages
• Exposure for citations– Thomson-Reuters (Web of Knowledge)– Elsevier (Scopus)– OAI– GoogleScholar
• More metadata support– full DataCite metadata scheme– cross scheme mapping
• UI redesign– Activity reporting– Browse & search

EZID Cost Model
• UC3: technical infrastructure, staff, monitoring, maintenance, enhancements, help, outreach, consultation, etc.
• UC clients: a small annual subscription fee entitling them to unlimited identifiers, either ARKs only or ARKs and DOIs.
Campus-EZID Workflows
• Plan A: Library as service provider– Consult, support, reach out.– Use EZID Order Form.– Pass along account requests.
• Plan B: Library as information hub– Distribute information, pass along questions, etc.
• Plan C: You shape it…– We’ll work with you to match your workflow!
Where to find help

DOI?)• EZID FAQs• EZID Service Guidelines• EZID Handout/brochure• October 2010 webinar & slides
