This presentation was provided by Helena Cousijns of Datacite, during the NISO event "Community OwnedInfrastructure: Partnerships and Collaboration." The virtual conference was held on March 24, 2021.
2. Global non-profit membership organization working with
2100+ repositories in the world to provide DOIs for data and
other research outputs.

5. Infrastructure
“the basic physical and organizational
structures and facilities needed for
the operation of a society or an
enterprise.”
New Oxford American Dictionary
6. Research infrastructure
the core elements – persistent
identifiers, metadata schemas,
standards, and so on – that enable the
creation of tools and services used by
researchers
8. POSI: principles of open infrastructure

9. Attributes of open infrastructure
1. equity
2. value
3. trust
4. interoperability

12. Member and fee structure
Consortium Membership
New model to ensure:
• Scalability as we continue to support the growing demands of our community
• Sustainability by aligning with DataCite’s core cost drivers
• Inclusivity in providing low fees for small organizations
• Simplicity by applying fees at the organization level
• Predictability through graded and fixed tiers
20. Access for different stakeholders
• As a repository platform, I want to integrate with the API to
provide DOI registration functionality
• As a harvester, I want to use OAI PMH to get DataCite
metadata
• As a research institution, I want to get metrics for my
different research output
• As a developer, I want to reuse the DataCite code
> Open source code, open APIs and open metadata enable
different stakeholders to use the DataCite infrastructure
22. Our value
· A DOI makes your research outputs
uniquely identifiable.
· Metadata that you register with
DataCite is in a central location,
harvestable by anyone.
· Metadata for our Members’ research
outputs appear in other search engines.
Registering DataCite DOIs makes
your research outputs discoverable.
· We make research data management easy:
you register your first DOI in less than 1
minute.
· DataCite DOIs and metadata help you make
your research FAIR.
· We connect you to the DataCite Member
community, which is full of passionate people
who share experience and continue to support
best practice.
· Our metadata schema is extensive and has
been adopted by other PID service providers
globally.
DataCite services make it easy to
follow best practices.
· A DOI enables easy tracking of your
research outputs through simple user
interfaces.
· DataCite services make institutional
reporting simple.
· DataCite services support data citation
and usage analytics
DataCite services help you track
and report on your research.
24. Being open and transparent
code is open source
metadata is CC0
we provide our board meeting summaries
we provide transparent financials
annually
we work within the governance
structures set up by the statutes
27. Contributing to interoperability
DOIs and their metadata provide centralized, standardized access to
repository records worldwide, which supports interoperability by
making it easier for other systems to use use that data
OAI-PMH
31. Next steps
• Listen to all the examples today
• Read the paper and consider the attributes of
open infrastructures
• Check the 16 POSI rules:
