Working Group Recommendation Precise, Actionable Reference to Dynamic Data: Recommendations of the Working Group on Data Citation (WGDC) Version: 2025-04-04T08:30Z (Version 2)

Review Status: Endorsed

Abstract: These recommendations enable researchers and data infrastructures to identify and reference the precise data used in experiments and studies. Instead of providing static data exports or textual descriptions of data subsets, the recommendations support a dynamic, query centric view of data sets. They enable unambiguous identification of the precise subset and version of data used, supporting reproducibility of processes using data and the sharing and reuse of data. This document is an updated version of the recommendations published in 2015.
