Japan Link Center (JaLC)

• Founded in March 2012

• Aimed to register DOIs for academic contents producedin Japan or in Japanese, to circulate information in Japan and overseas.

• Controlled by four national organizations:� Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) (has 915 associate members)

� National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)

� National Institute of Informatics (NII)(will have about 1,000 associate members)

� National Diet Library (NDL)

• Operated by JST

• Membership system19 Regular members (Academic societies, Publishers, University libraries, etc)

• External coordinationJaLC is a member of CrossRef and DataCite(Mar. 2014)

Upcoming featuresJaLC will release new features in December 2014.

a. More content categoriesExpanded to research data and books etc. besides journal articles.

JaLC will collaborate with DataCite in registering DOI for research data.

b. Edition informationVariation: publication version, author’s version, ...

Version : 1.0, 2.1, ...

Format: XML, PDF, …

c. Multiple resolutionIdentical contents are resolved into original sites, archive sites and distributers' sites.

d. Researcher identifiersORCID, KAKEN ID, NDL authority ID are included in JaLC's deposit schema.Ex. of application: Send pairs of ORCID and DOI to ORCID system so that corresponding articles will be suggested as research results on ORCID service.

e. Linked dataMetadata are provided as linked data.

Experiment Projectto register DOIs for Research Data

• Goal

− Establish operation flows to register DOIs for research data and have stable operation

• Objectives

− Set policies in registering DOIs for research data

− Establish operation flows to register DOIs for research data with the next version of JaLC system. Ensure that by performing registration tests

Summary

• JaLC is established to enhance scientific communication with DOI

• Ideally support all activities by researchers

• JaLC started service for journal articles, then will extend it for books, e-learning, and data.

• Need of knowledge and experience about data registration

• Start the experiment in Fall.

• Need for collaboration and coordination with DataCite
