Citation of research data is becoming the norm. Government agencies like OSTP, NSF, NASA and NOAA require data to be fully and openly accessible, and have articulated data citation as a means to achieving open and equal access to data to all interested parties. Also, publishers are requiring manuscript submitters to provide access to the data sets used in their published research in order to link publications with the data that underly them. Citation of research data is a key component of these goals.
Priniciples of data citation have reached some degree of maturity, but significant issues remain. In particular, how does one cite data that is dynamic, e.g., created via subsetting, aggregation, or other on-demand, server side functionality?
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) Working Group on data citation has been working in this area, and the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP Federation) held a workshop on Dynamic Data Citation this topic this year. In this talk, Ruth will describe the the current state of research data citation and the results of these recent efforts.

As a data scientist/engineer , Ruth Duerr has been interested in four fields of inquiry: science data management, digital archives management, records management, and digital library science. All four fields are developing separately, yet share similar problem spaces – how to make available and preserve digital data and information over time. Her research interests involve nearly all aspects of data stewardship. She currently is a PI and/or Project Manager for several ongoing and recent data management and cyberinfrastructure projects funded by NSF, NASA and NOAA.

Venue note
Sadly, we lost our most recent meeting venue, The Gondolier, which now requires a minimum order amount well beyond what we can guarunteeguarantee.
For this reason, we'll hold this meeting at LASP. Parking at LASP is abundant and free after 5:00. We believe that meeting attendees will be able to arrive around 4:45 or later and not receive a parking violation. (If that does happen, let me know - we might be able to fix it.)
