Purpose of 4 classes of DOIs in astronomy [Was on Section 2] #14

Open gilleslandais opened 4 months ago

gilleslandais commented 4 months ago

Section 2 defines a classifification with 4 type of resources.

What is the idea behind this classification? a best practices for each of them ?

I think that Knowledgebases section deserves more explanation, perhaps as examples. Is it true if I say that a knowledge databse is a service that provides/generate (possibly among other things) DOI for some (or all) of its resources?

In that case , are there special DOI metadata expected ? relationships between resource and the service?

The classification is partially empirical -- these are the kinds of DOIs being created today, and partially and incompletely conceptual -- collection DOIs might have incredible power depending on how they are implemented.

I think that Knowledgebases section deserves more explanation, perhaps as examples.

Here is a list of my favorite knowledgebases and if/how DOIs are implemented in them:

Knowledgebase DOI Comments
Simbad None
NEA12 DOI for resource Weekly releases; User access versioning
NED DOI for resource Has releases; User access versioning
VAMDC DOI for workflow Is it a knowledgebase or a collection?
