A recent talk introduces the concept of repository re-curation as a means of improving connectivity with identifiers while complying with the Nelson Memo. Examples from three types of research organizations are described: Dryad, a generalist repository, institutional repositories, and biologic field stations. Slides and a video of the talk are included.

The Dryad data publishing platform and community have provided secure storage, curation, discovery and access for datasets associated with published scientific papers since 2008 and now holds nearly 50,000 datasets. The platform is supported by an active community of researchers, research organizations, and scientific journals that submit data and support infrastructure development and sustenance.

Affiliations and identifiers are critical for building a connected research community across the world. The contribution made to that connected resource for University datasets in DataCite is limited by the paucity of the required organizational identifiers.

The idea that DataCite exists only to provide DOIs is deeply embedded in repository thought processes and this idea needs to evolve. The research community needs to think about DataCite (and other elements of the global research infrastructure) as powerful resources for describing and connecting the myriad of resources that make up the modern research world.

Improving the completeness and the machine-readability of funder metadata in the global research infrastructure, i.e. DataCite and Crossref, is a critical step along the path of using that infrastructure to identify and characterize research results supported by funders all over the world. A set of 854 funder descriptions from the DRUM repository were processed into 1482 affiliation strings.
