Aggregate datasets DOI?
Michael Haft
Hi,
Quick question, if I have several datasets each with DOIs and wish to aggregate them into a larger dataset as they are all logically related, example rainfall dataset, windspeed dataset, borehole dataset all measured in the same location. Can the aggregate dataset have its own DOI? As in the above example I might call this the riverbank 1 dataset, though it is comprised of several smaller components which I need to publish separately also.

> Can the aggregate dataset have its own DOI?
As far as we understand, yes you can. We are planning on doing the same
thing in our archive with file level objects associated with
collections, each of which will have their own DOI.
It is supported in the DataCite metadata schema in the RelatedIdentifier
property, which has a required relationType attribute with controlled
values such as IsPartOf and HasPart.

Yes, an aggregate can be given a separate DOI. Please have a look at
page 15 of this document:
http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-2.2/doc/DataCite-MetadataKernel_v2.2.pdf
There is a relationType element in our schema which, among others, can
describe this kind of relationship (IsPartOf/HasPart).
