Yes, that was my understanding too. Marty took care of recording and providing a disclaimer for today’s meeting. Thanks again.

<div>Greetings IMC,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For the month of December we will once again be postponing our monthly VWC by one week so as not to conflict with AGU. Therefore we will look forward to seeing you all on Monday December 16th at our regular time and channel. Below the connection
details is an overview of our topic and links to background material.<br>

<div><b>December VWC - Dataset Attribution</b><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Part 1: <b>Organizations in attribution<br>
</b><br>
Driving questions: Should organizations appear in dataset citations? What rules should EDI follow for display of organizations?<br>
<br>
ESIP guidelines state that a particular group or small organization may sometimes be the author of a dataset. EML best practices v3 state that the creator list should include the organization using <organizationName>, or the current principal investigator
using <postitionName>. <br>
<br>
Using <organizationName> impacts how the citation is auto-generated on the LTER Data Portal:<br>
<br>
If the creator list only includes organizations, then the organizations show up in the citation.<br>
<br>
If the creator list includes an organization and a person, **only the person shows up in the citation**.<br>
<br>
Some LTER sites get around this by using <individualName> instead of <organizationName> for the organization, i.e., they treat their site as a person.<br>
<br>
If EDI changes their practice to include organizations in citations which also include individuals, then this will after a great many datasets in EDI. IMs may want to revise their EML if they had provided their organization as both organizations and individuals.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Part 2:<b> Attributing long-term datasets</b><br>
<br>
Driving questions: Should the citation for a long-term dataset include the ever-growing list of PIs associated with the dataset, or just the organization name? What about the potentially monstrous list of associated parties? Who goes in that list? How could
one supply information on when a given party was involved with the dataset (e.g., as a CSV table), and should that temporal information be in the metadata?<br>
