Peter,
I wanted to address your comment “perhaps DataONE” with respect to lists of
registries. DataONE does not maintain a list of trusted registries. DataONE is a federation of Member Nodes (repositories) but we do not maintain a list of
trusted repositories.
Perhaps someone from the Domain Repositories IG could respond to this?

Let me just add that I also agree with what is said.
– We need to define a set of attributes that contains information for humans but also information for machines. Trust is mostly about the first (human information) but not only – EUDAT for example runs automatic processes about availability of services and presents it as graphics etc. This requires for example that in the attribute set you find a machine readable statement which services are offered and statements how to contact these services.
– So let me come back to Larry’s earlier question. Is there a list? Yes and no I would answer. I know about two suggestions without having looked into all details: re3data (merged now with databib) and GOCDB. Therefore I am grateful to Herman and Tom to have looked into this. There will be more out there (perhaps in DataONE) since any federated approach must have a registry of this sort. This would be for me one example to start a WG to sort out what kind of attribute set is required, but then also look from the DF perspective – namely information that allows our machines to find and interpret information. Perhaps one of the existing solutions does exactly what we need, but we first should compare and evaluate. So – here is a new WG and this is very important to me.
See you tomorrow 🙂
Peter
