FAIRsharing record for: DataCite Metadata Schema

This FAIRsharing record describes: The DataCite Metadata Schema is a list of core metadata properties chosen for accurate and consistent identification of a resource for citation and retrieval purposes, with recommended use instructions in the documentation. The resource that is being identified can be of any kind, but it is typically a dataset. We use the term ‘dataset’ in its broadest sense. We mean it to include not only numerical data, but any other research objects in keeping with DataCite’s mission (https://datacite.org/value.html). The metadata schema properties are presented and described in detail in the section DataCite Metadata Properties in this document.
