The state's archives, libraries, special collections, museums, historical repositories, and state, tribal and local government agencies are the holders of a rich collection of Nevada's history. Nevada's economy is driven by ranching, mining, military installations, tourism, gambling, and the railroads. Its history is tied to the Paiute, Shoshone, Washoe, Asian Americans, African Americans, Basque, Hispanics and Euroamericans who settled the Great Basin over the centuries. Nevada is a land of wide open spaces that stretch for miles contrasted with the busy streets and lights of Las Vegas and Reno.

Herbert Gruttemeier, Head of International Relations, Institute for Scientific andĪdam Farquhar, Head of Digital Library Technology, The British Library, UK Wolfram Neubauer, Director, ETH Library Zürich, Switzerland Uwe Rosemann, Director, German National Library of Science and Technology, Signed this day of March 2nd, Paris, France The organisations will independently work with data centres and other holders of research data sets in their own domains.Īs a first step, this agency will build on the approach developed by the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) and promote the use of Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) for datasets. It will, through its members, establish and promote common methods, best practices, and guidance. The agency will take global leadership for promoting the use of persistent identifiers for datasets, to satisfy needs of scientists. In order to achieve this long term vision, we will establish a not-for-profit agency that enables organisations to register research datasets and assign persistent identifiers to them.
Our long term vision is to support researchers by providing methods for them to locate, identify, and cite research datasets with confidence. Recognizing the importance of research datasets as the foundation of knowledge and sharing a common commitment to promote and establish persistent access to such datasets, we, the signed parties, hereby express our interest to work together to promote global access to research data. Further countries and organisations are encouraged to join the partnership. The long term vision of the partnership is to support researchers by providing methods for them to locate, identify, and cite research datasets with confidence. Since 2005 TIB has registered around 600,000 research data sets with a DOI name to allow easy access and improve citability ( ). The DOI® System differs from other reference systems commonly used on the Internet, such as the URL, since it is permanently linked to the object itself, not just to the place in which the object is located. A DOI name is used to cite and link to electronic resources (text as well as research data and other types of content). Maria Heijne, Director of the TU Delft Library added: "Citability of research data will reward researchers and therefore hopefully convince them that long term data preservation is worth while."Īs a first step, this agency will build on an approach developed by TIB and promote the use of Digital Object Identifiers (DOI®) names for datasets. "This is an important step in developing a strategy in a new field of responsibility and services for libraries and other information providers", said Uwe Rosemann, Director of TIB. The goal of this cooperation is to establish a not-for-profit agency that enables organisations to register research datasets and assign persistent identifiers to them, so that research datasets can be handled as independent, citable, unique scientific objects. The German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB), the British Library, the Library of the ETH Zurich, the French Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (INIST), the Technical Information Center of Denmark and the Dutch TU Delft Library all signed a Memorandum of Understanding to this effect during the meeting of the International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) in Paris on 2 March 2009 (see below). German National Library of Science and TechnologyĪ group of Europe's leading research libraries and technical information providers has established a partnership to improve access to research data on the internet.
