OSTI Helping High Energy Physics Collaboration to Register Datasets

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) is working with a researcher in the High Energy Physics (HEP) community to register scientific datasets produced by a domain collaboration, a recent blog post has reported.

OSTI offers a service for registering datasets to help increase access to digital data from DOE-funded scientific research.  Through the DOE Data ID Service, OSTI assigns persistent identifiers, known as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), to datasets submitted by DOE and its contractor and grantee researchers and registers the DOIs with DataCite to aid in citation, discovery, retrieval, and reuse.  OSTI assigns and registers DOIs for datasets for DOE researchers as a free service to enhance the Department of Energy's management of this important resource.

A March 23, 2016, INSPIRE-HEP blog, "DOIs and Lattice QCD Gauge Ensemble Datasets," reports on the efforts of Dr. Jim Simone, a member of the FERMILAB-LATTICE collaboration, to get DOIs assigned to MILC collaboration datasets and then have the records uploaded to INSPIRE, the HEP information system jointly run by CERN, DESY, Fermilab, IHEP, and SLAC.  The MILC research program uses large-scale numerical simulations to study quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong interactions of subatomic physics.

The blog explains why Dr. Simone seeks to register the MILC datasets and how he turned to OSTI for help:...
