Survey on Publishing and Versioning of iDAI.field Data

Dear colleague,

You are invited to participate in a survey conducted as part of the CiVers project (Citation of Versioned Web Pages by PID) of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI).

The survey is titled: “Publishing and Versioning of iDAI.field Data.”

This survey aims to better understand users’ perspectives on the future use, sharing, publication, and citation of data managed in iDAI.field. We are particularly interested in expectations and preferences regarding data publication workflows, data citation practices, persistent identifiers (DOIs), versioning, and the reuse of fieldwork data.
The survey focuses on your opinions and expectations for future practices rather than on your current workflows. Your responses will help us identify users’ needs and priorities for the further development of iDAI.field and related data infrastructures. As a current or potential user of iDAI.field, your experience and perspective are highly valuable for this work.

Thank you for your time and support.

Sincerely,
The CiVers Team
