[..].. digital object identifiers (DOIs) can be recruited to identify published data sets. Such an approach has been piloted for several years in a limited number of scientific domains and efforts are now ongoing to widen the scope of 'data DOIs' to other kinds of research data.

#1 Very excellent and important
Very excellent and important work. I have been thinking this in a context of Nordic control database (www.nordicdb.org) and wondering if citation credits could be shared among all individual participants based on contributions assigned, for example, by PIs. At the end of the day, the citation credit can be seen as a virtual currency that can be used to buy real world things i.e. to get funding or better (real) salaries. To make this really running it is necessary to create system where market principles would work. There have been some discussions on these topics in open source currency forums.
