The Foundation for Research
Data is a crucial component of the scholarly record.
Re-acquisition may be impossible
Datasets are essential to the British Library’s mission to advance the World’s knowledge.

The Datasets Programme
We envision a future where researchers can:
Discover, access, reuse, and reference datasets.
Track the impact of the data that they generate and receive appropriate credit.
Our approach is to:
Provide a focus for the community to establish needs, requirements and agreement.
Explore novel technology and creative solutions.

Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) offer a solution
Mostly widely used identifier for scientific articles
Researchers, authors, publishers know how to use them
Put datasets on the same playing field as articles
Connecting an Article with the Underlying Data
