  1. I am here to tell you about the datasets programme across the BL and in the Social Sciences team, There have been rapid changes in the digital landscape which has led to people generating and sharing ever increasing volumes of data. We refer to collections of data as datasets. While the nature of datasets varies across disciplines, researchers within each discipline typically agree on what constitutes a dataset for them. Examples of datasets include (1) example of volcanic data (2) cluster of chromosomes inside a breast cancer cell (3) uk poll of voting intention (blue cons, red labour, yellow liberal) Within the Dataset Programme, we consider a dataset to be an organised collection of digital objects that is produced or consumed during research. We emphasise the role that the dataset plays in the research activity, its importance to researchers, its impact, and its potential for reuse. Despite the differing nature of datasets, many of the services required by researchers are shared, such as methods of citation, discovery, and preservation.
  2. So why focus on datasets? Data is the foundation for research It is an essential component of the scientific record. Time-consuming, costly to produce. Re-acquisition may be impossible. Therefore essential that it is preserved and shared.
  3. Example Project 3 – Resource Discovery The BL is developing improved discovery services by deploying the Primo system from Ex Libris. We are investigating ways of including datasets alongside of other catalogue material such as articles and monographs. Now you can see how this works together with DataCite. There is a link next to the dataset that shows that you can get it as an on-line resource. This link uses the DataCite DOI. If we follow it, the DOI system takes us directly to the dataset. The same mechanism is also being used to link to articles and datasets in Elsevier's ScienceDirect and Thompson-Reuters Web of Science.
  4. The types of data linked to include Data from ESDS/UKDA, UK government data, regional and local government data, international organisations etc.
