DOIs for NVS Controlled Vocabularies?

Why?• Because Bob asked…

• Gold standard of persistent identifiers is that the resolver system is separate from the id (Jens Klump’s EGU session)

• Protection against any possible namespace change

• Any change to access protocols can be mitigated

• DOI or handle?

What sort of DOI?

A SKOS concept can be viewed as an idea or notion; a unit of thought. However, what constitutes a unit of thought is subjective, and this definition is meant to be suggestive, rather than restrictive.

What sort of DOI?

SKOS concept collections are labelled and/or ordered groups of SKOS concepts.

Collections are useful where a group of concepts shares something in common, and it is convenient to group them under a common label, or where some concepts can be placed in a meaningful order.

What sort of DOI?An abstract, conceptual, graphical, mathematical or visualization model that represents empirical objects, phenomena, or physical processes.

Things to note• Metadata updates in the NVS SKOS Concepts

don’t change the philosophical “concept” being described

• No deletion in the NVS – only deprecation

• i.e. The NVS dataset can grow – under a strict interpretation the dataset doesn’t really change
