Linking data and publications in the environmental sciences: CLADDIER project workshop, Chilworth, Southampton, UK 15th May 2007

Description/Abstract

This CLADDIER (CITATION, LOCATION, And DEPOSITION IN DISCIPLINE & INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES) workshop provided a key opportunity to hear about progress in the project and also, most importantly, to discuss fundamental next steps to further the linking of citations from source data to publications databases. The emphasis is on the environmental sciences. The University of Southampton and STFC institutional repositories are exemplars of institutional repositories in the UK. The British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC), likewise, is an exemplar of a discipline based data archive. As part of the project a demonstration system linking publications held in the institutional repositories with data holdings in the BADC has been set up to explore the issues involved.
