Abstract

63 SCIENCE HIGHLIGHTS: Building and Harnessing Open paleOdata the entire LiPD research ecosystem (McKay and Emile-Geay, this issue). This makes LinkedEarth-hosted data inherently interoperable. In order to ensure the lasting utility of the data, LinkedEarth sparked the first international discussion on community-led data reporting standards11, to build consensus on the most important information that should be reported in paleoclimate datasets. This consensusbuilding enterprise was facilitated by the LinkedEarth platform, including working groups, discussions, and polling (Gil et al. 2017).
Lastly, the semantic part of LinkedEarth means that datasets are broadcast to the web using standard schemas12, which make them discoverable by various search engines, including Google. because of this outward-facing design, LinkedEarth datasets were the first to be integrated into EarthCube’s Project 41813 (P418), an EarthCube initiative to demonstrate common publishing approaches for data holdings using such standard schemas.
