The document discusses the role of libraries in providing access to research data and introduces DataCite, a global consortium focused on improving infrastructure for research datasets. Key points:
- Scientific information now includes non-textual data, requiring libraries to provide access to datasets in addition to publications.
- DataCite provides DOIs and standards to help data repositories and publishers improve identification, citation and discovery of datasets.
- DataCite has over 15 member institutions worldwide and has registered over 800,000 datasets with DOIs to help connect publications to underlying research data.

Notas do Editor
The approach that DataCite is taking – using DOIs - has some important social benefits. Researchers, authors, publishers are comfortable, understand, and know how to use them. They put datasets on a level playing field with articles.
Started in 2004 with a DFG funded project lead by TIB and including three World Data Centres (STD-DOI Scientific Technical Data with DOIs)
