Connecting Place-based Research Back to the Place-Project Metadata in DataCite

Field stations are an important part of the global scientific research infrastructure providing access and logistical support that makes scientific contributions across domains from ecology to archeology possible. There are over 1000 field stations worldwide. However, little attention has been given to the cooperative work at field stations or how computer-supported cooperative work could benefit this cooperation. The poster and demo will describe project metadata, to connect people, organizations, data management plans, funders and outputs like samples, data, software and papers. The work has been done in collaboration with the Tetiaroa Ecostation, a working field station, that is piloting this approach to project metadata.
