The document discusses the role of libraries in providing access to research data and introduces DataCite, a global consortium focused on improving infrastructure for research datasets. Key points:
- Scientific information now includes non-textual data, requiring libraries to provide access to datasets in addition to publications.
- DataCite provides DOIs and standards to help data repositories and publishers improve identification, citation and discovery of datasets.
- DataCite has over 15 member institutions worldwide and has registered over 800,000 datasets with DOIs to help connect publications to underlying research data.

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.
Started in 2004 with a DFG funded project lead by TIB and including three World Data Centres (STD-DOI Scientific Technical Data with DOIs)
