Identification- What granularity do your RI’s data products have:
a. Temporally (yearly, monthly, daily, or other)?
> It varies
b. Spatially (by measurement station, region, country or all together)?
> It varies - How are the data products of your RI stored - as separate “static” files, in a database system, or a combination?
> It varies - How does your RI treat the “versioning” of data - are older datasets simply replaced by updates, or are several versions kept accessible in parallel?
> No policy to my knowledge - Is it important to your data users that
a. Every digital data object is tagged with a unique & persistent digital identifier (PID)?
> No policy
b.The metadata for data files contains checksum information for the objects?
> No policy
c. Metadata (including any documentation about the data object contents) is given its own persistent identifier?
> No policy
d. Metadata and data objects can be linked persistently by means of PIDs?
> No policy - Is your RI currently using, or planning to use, a standardized system based on persistent digital identifiers (PIDs) for:
> No to all - Please indicate the kind of identifier system that are you using - e.g. Handle-based (EPIC or DOI), UUIDs or your own RI-specific system?
> None
Citation- How does your “designated scientific community” (typical data users) primarily use your data products? As input for modelling, or for comparisons?
> Modelling - Do your primary user community traditionally refer to datasets they use in publications:
a. By providing information about producer, year, report number if available, title or short description in the running text (e.g. under Materials and Methods)?
> yes
b. By adding information about producer, year, report number if available, title or short description in the References section?
>Yes
c. By DOIs, if available, in the References section?
> Not necessarily doi but things may be placed in a data depositry
d. By using other information?
> Supplemental data added to paper submission - Is it important to your data users to be able to refer to specific subsets of the data sets in their citation?
> Very important: Date and time intervals, Geographic selection, Specific parameters and observables - Is it important to be able to refer to many separate datasets in a collective way, e.g. having a collection of “all data” from your RI represented by one single DOI?
> No - What strategy does your RI have for collecting information about the usage of your data products?
> No strategy different methods used. - Who receives credit when a dataset from your RI is cited ?
> It varies
