This talk will discuss a joint project of the California Digital
Library and the European Bioinformatics Institute, with other
collaborators, to develop a common approach for global resolution of
locally-assigned accession numbers, based on a shared registry of
defined resource prefixes and provider codes. We believe our approach
will enable academic publishers to implement the Joint Declaration of
Data Citation Principles (JDDCP) more rapidly, easily and effectively
for data in key bioinformatics resources.
