[Esip-preserve] Recommendations for affordable DOI minting for commercial geospatial data

[Mark Parsons]

Hi Evan,

Good on you for wanting your data to be referenced properly!

Is ASO the actual archive for the data or are they ulimately archived by NASA or another sponsor? Whoever mints the DOI should recognize that they are taking on a responsibility to maintain that DOI. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they must maintain the data, but they must ensure that the DOI continually links to the current state of the data (whether it has been moved, upgraded, deleted, etc). Once you determine who has that responsibility it will be easier to determine which DOI service to use. I suspect you may be able to tap into a NASA relationship with DataCite.

cheers,

-m.

These data consist primarily of gridded geospatial products and pdfs with discussion and analyses of these products.  The data is used by both academia and operational water management agencies in real-time and is available on our website.

I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for DOI minting options that are more cost effective and appropriate for this type of data and use case.
