- -ARKs in the Open is a collaboration between CDL and DuraSpace aimed at building an open, international community around Archival Resource Keys (ARKs) and their use as persistent identifiers in the open scholarly ecosystem.
- - -Why is CDL working on the ARKs in the Open initiative
- -We (CDL) are launching this pilot project as a first step toward ensuring the ongoing health and development of the ARK infrastructure. By "ARK infrastructure," we mean open source software tools and systems, the ARK specification, and production-grade resolver services. Community ownership of ARK identifier assets has been under discussion for over a decade, and the project makes a start by establishing an active ARK community group with the aims of:
-1. Maintaining two key assets: the ARK specification and the NAAN registry, and
-2. Submitting the current ARK specification to the IETF as in Internet Informational RFC.
- -What is DuraSpace's role
- -Since 2001, CDL has served as the "incubator" for ARKs. Now, to achieve long-term sustainability, ARKs and the ARK infrastructure must emerge from CDL and mature in partnership with multiple organizations and community participants to guide its future. -To jumpstart the process, CDL sought a collaboration with DuraSpace, an independent not-for-profit organization providing leadership for open technologies and communities such as Fedora, DSpace, and VIVO.
- -Does this mean EZID or CDL will stop offering ARK identifiers?
- -Not at all. EZID will continue to provide full services for the creation and maintenance of ARKs and other identifiers. CDL expects to play a prominent role in whatever community partnership emerges around ARKs and ARK infrastructure. -
- -Where can I get more detailed information about ARKs in the Open?
- -The project's home page: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSP/ARKs+in+the+Open+Project
- -How can I stay informed about ARKs in the Open?
-Regular updates will be posted to the ARK mailing list. Join the list here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/arks-forum
- -How can I get more involved?
-Express your interest here: http://bit.ly/2C4fU8f

- -DOI services are available for University of California users only. - -
Can I get a new ARK account?
- -Yes. - -
Why are you changing EZID's service offering in this way?
- -DOI service providers have evolved considerably over the last 5-10 years, and after careful consideration, we have adopted the following new strategy direction: to endorse and support DataCite's long-term sustainability, while maintaining our own distinct role in the persistent identifier (PID) space. - -
What alternatives do I have for DOI services?
- -Option 1: Direct membership in DataCite. This is an especially good option if you seek a participatory role in the data citation and data curation community. In addition, we are working closely with DataCite to make sure popular EZID features (such as link checking and the usage dashboard) make their way into DataCite's feature set. If you'd like to know more, visit https://www.datacite.org/contact.html. - -
Option 2: Become a client of another DataCite member. Here is a list of current members: https://www.datacite.org/members.html. - -
Option 3: Use the services of a repository that provides DOIs, such as Dryad, Dataverse or figshare. This is a good option if you need only a very small number of DOIs. - -
Option 4: Become a client of Crossref. Crossref's annual member fee is based on the publishing revenue of the organization. For those organizations with less than $1M in publishing revenue the annual fee is $275. Crossref accepts data, text and preprints. You can explore Crossref's website for more information and when you are ready to apply for membership, complete this form: http://www.crossref.org/membership/join. - -
If you would like help assessing the differences between Crossref and DataCite services, please contact us - -
If I already have an EZID account, can I upgrade or change it?
- -You can certainly add new ARK services. If you have other questions, please contact us.
- -How does all of this affect University of California EZID account holders?
- -University of California clients and prospective clients are not affected by this change. If you have any questions, please contact us.
