The [Repositories Expert Group] (
https://www.force11.org/group/dcip/eg4repository) of the Force11 Data Citation Implementation Pilot (DCIP) has [published recommendations] (
https://doi.org/10.1101/097196) for embedding persistent identifiers and metadata in landing pages for datasets. In the afternoon elective MT2: Data Citation Implementation for Data Repositories we will go through the recommendations, and how they can be implemented in a data repository. This hackathon complements elective MT2 (and starts right after the end of MT2), but is of course open to all FSCI attendees. The goal of the hackathon is to work on implementing the recommendations in a data repository. We will form small teams that include staff from a number of data repositories, and that will implement at least one of the 10 recommendations for data repositories. Gustavo and Martin will facilitate the work of these teams, and at the end of the hackathon we will do a show and tell of what we have done. The hackathon should be of interest to everyone working for a data repository, who cares about data, persistent identifiers and metadata, and who wants to get his/her hands dirty and implement something. Programming skills are of course helpful, but not required. We will provide food and drink, and a fun atmosphere after a long day of classes.
