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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">cheers,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-m. </div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 13, 2021, at 3:14 PM, Evan Burgess via Esip-preserve <<a href="mailto:esip-preserve@lists.esipfed.org" class="">esip-preserve@lists.esipfed.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hey All,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I work for <a href="https://www.airbornesnowobservatories.com/" class="">Airborne Snow Observatories</a>. We release a lot of public geospatial data on snow water resources in California and Colorado.
