Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities

  • John Kunze, EZID System Architect, and Greg Janée, EZID Technical Lead, both attended the third annual CSV conference in Portland, May 2-3. “CSV” is short for “comma separated values,” and it is a common format for data exchange. Excel files can be saved in this format, for example, so that they can be opened by a program other than Excel. The conference is becoming a hub for “stories about data sharing and data analysis from science, journalism, government, and open source.” For more information, see https://csvconf.com/.

EZID Service Description

EZID (easy-eye-dee) is a production service that gives researchers the ability to create and manage long-term identifiers so that they can to track usage, get credit for their work, share their data, and have the data reused for additional research. As a result, EZID identifiers also make it possible to increase citations, to build on previous work, to conduct new research, and avoid duplicating previous efforts.
