Publishing Data: Services
|
---|
The overarching scope of this Working Group (WG) was to address processes, workflows, and solutions that currently exist—mostly as bilateral agreements—between individual parties within the data publication landscape, and investigate how these can be lifted to one-for-all services that increase interoperability, decrease systemic inefficiencies, and power new tools and functionalities to the benefit of researchers. Such processes may lie at different moments in the data publication workflow, including the submission, editorial, review, and publication process.
Building on pre-existing components and international initiatives (see below), the WG is focusing on the one-for-all cross-referencing service for the links between data and publications. The challenge for the working group is "How to move from a plethora of (mostly) bilateral arrangements to a one-for-all service model infrastructure for the research data publication landscape?"

- Data-Literature Interlinking (DLI) service

Note: In early 2013, a first WDS Working Group on Data Publication Services was started, which was subsequently endorsed in 2014 by the Research Data Alliance (RDA) as an RDA–WDS Working Group (WG) on Publishing Data Services. The activities of this working group are transitioned into the Scholix WG and coordinated with a number of other working groups through the RDA-WDS Interest Group on Publishing Data.
Outputs of the WG are available here.
