<div class="gmail-tablecontents"><b>Event Notes:</b> Several
observatories and astronomical data repositories are preparing to start
using DataCite DOIs as persistent identifiers for citing datasets in the
literature. Among the issues that need to be addressed are: how can we
identify individual datasets while also providing convenient landing
pages from the literature; what is a sensible set of metadata, based on
DataCite's rich schema, that ensures optimum discoverability, also
outside traditional astronomical portals; how can we ensure deserved
credit for individual researchers; do we want to tackle the issue of
trailing fragments to allow drilling into the datasets? So far, we have
had a Bird of a Feather session at ADASS on the subject and some of the
issues have been discussed in the IVOA context. This splinter meeting's
objective is to continue the conversation among the AAS community. </div>
