I strongly encourage ESIP members to review and comment on this.  As I have a strong personal interest in the topic, I would also be interested in seeing your comments, if you are willing to share them. Note the 20 Sept. deadline.

Thanks,

> The attached document is the newly completed Metadata Kernel for DataCite (http://www.datacite.org/). This document is the work of representatives from 11 of the 12 member institutions of the DataCite consortium, and we are now hoping that you will take the opportunity to review it and provide us with your perspective.
> 
> With this Metadata Kernel, the DataCite consortium is hoping to achieve the following goals:
> 
> ·         recommend a standard citation format for datasets, based on a small number of elements required for DOI registration;
> ·         provide the basis for interoperability with other data management schemas;
> ·         promote dataset discovery with optional elements allowing for flexible description of the resource, including its relationship to other resources;
> ·         and, lay the groundwork for future DataCite services, including discovery tool implementations by the use of controlled lists of terms as well as standard vocabularies where available.
> 
> We ask only that, when providing feedback, you refer to page numbers, element numbers, and so forth, wherever possible. This will help us a great deal to compile the comments we receive. Please send your comments by the end of business September 20, 2010 to DCite-L at listserv.ucop.edu

> If you have any questions between now and September 20, please do not hesitate to contact me, Joan Starr, at joan.starr at ucop.edu.
