First DOI minted for scholarly contribution to Kerameikos.org

Following some very recent updates in Nomisma.org with respect to connecting editors to the concepts they have created or updated, I have copied and pasted all of the code from the Nomisma framework into Kerameikos. Formally, Kerameikos has seven editors, although only my profile has been connected to concepts that already exist in the system (most of which were created in 2014 before our initial demonstration at Computer Applications in Archaeology in Paris [see this paper]).

In collaboration with Sherry Lake from the University of Virginia Library, the first DOI has been minted to point to the list of spreadsheets and IDs I have contributed to Kerameikos. As I said in the Nomisma blog post I wrote earlier today:

Nomisma.org data constitute an enormous body of collective intellectual effort, and it's increasingly important that scholarly digital works receive equal weight as traditional publications. Therefore, the creation of DOIs for Nomisma contributions would appear in the scholarly profile in ORCID. Just recently, the AIA issued updated guidelines for the considerations of tenure and promotion, with specific guidelines for the recognition of digital projects, and so our goal of formalizing this recognition within Nomisma keeps us on the cutting edge with respect modern modes of scholarly communication.

The same obviously applies for this project as well. So we have now achieved in Kerameikos what I hope to in Nomisma in the near future. After having minted the DOI through DataCite, this publication metadata has propagated in several ways:

Many thanks to the UVA Library for supporting us in this, as we are now officially a University of Virginia project since having been awarded an NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant last August.
