Editor's Notes
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.

As a result of these challenges In Dec 2009 the BL produced a Datasets Strategy. This strategy has been transformed into a programme of work in a number of departments in the Library and a number of significant projects. The datasets programme has been established to explore how the Library can help… Not only do we want to ensure data is preserved, we envision a future where… Our approach is to foster collaboration and…
The types of data linked to include Data from ESDS/UKDA, UK government data, regional and local government data, international organisations etc.
Example Project 1 – DataCite Our long term vision is to support researchers by providing methods for them to locate, identify, and cite research datasets with confidence.
DataCite 2 We see Persistent identification as a key component for this… It allows data to be verified, discovered, accessed, reused, cited and tracked,
How does datacite work? 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.
