Identifying opportunities: How the NZ DOI Consortium can help you "get ready"

Recent advances in the eResearch domain have led to unprecedented opportunities to create, share, reuse, and preserve digital information. Regardless of the type of information that is being created in digital form – scholarly publications, research data sets, software, websites, etc. – there are benefits to associating digital resources with unique, persistent identifiers such as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). This talk will primarily provide information on DOIs and persistent identifiers in the abstract; however the NZ DOI Consortium is facilitated by DataCite and examples may include references to DataCite and the Fabrica interface for DOI minting.ABOUT THE AUTHORMartin Gengenbach is a Digital Preservation Policy and Outreach Specialist at Archives Library New Zealand.
