                            Although research data publishing is today widely regarded as crucial for reproducibility

                            and proper

                            assessment of scientific results, several challenges still need to be solved to fully

                            realize its potential.

                            Developing links between the published literature and datasets is one of them. Current

                            solutions are mostly based on bilateral,

                            ad-hoc agreements between publishers and data centers, operating in silos whose content

                            cannot be readily combined to deliver

                            a network connecting research data and literature. The RDA Data Publishing Services Working

                            Group (DPS-WG) [<b>1</b>]

                            aims to address this issue by bringing together different stakeholders to agree on common

                            standards, combine links from disparate sources,

                            and create a universal, open service for collecting and sharing such links: the

                            Data-Literature Interlinking Service.

                            <p>The realization and operation of this Service is the result of a synergic effort of the

                                DPS-WG and the OpenAIRE infrastructure. The Service populates and provides access to a

                                graph of dataset-literature links collected from a variety of major data centers,

                                publishers, and research organizations. It offers facilities for the following classes

                                    procedures will be produced at a later stage; currently each “application” is

                                    processed independently with bilateral agreements.

                            Based on feedback from content providers and consumers, DPS-WG will continue to refine the

                            Service data model and exchange format to make it a universal, cross-platform,

                            cross-discipline solution for collecting and sharing dataset-literature links.
