Abstract: 

Science is changing because of the impact of information technology. Experimental, theoretical, and computational science are all being affected by the data deluge, and a fourth, "data-intensive" science paradigm is emerging.
To investigate the mechanism of long-term variations in the upper atmosphere, we need to
create integrated links between a variety of ground-based observations made at various locations from the equator to the poles because what we observe is the result of complicated processes. However, the Japanese observational databases (e.g., by a global network of radars, magnetome-ters, optical sensors, helioscopes) have been maintained and made available to the community
by each institution that conducted the observations. Then researchers encountered the problem
that is difficult to look for various kinds of observational data to clarify the global scale physical phenomena.
In order to solve the problem, we built the metadata database for upper atmosphere by using extended DSpace^1. The extended point is to handle the IUGONET common metadata format
which include resource types for dataset and human resources^2 instead of Dublin Core. Thereby,
the researchers can reach distributed observational raw data via metadata [1].
From a viewpoint of data publication, International Council for Science (ICSU) - World Data
System (WDS) members are considering to put Digital Object Identi er (DOI) to dataset by
using registration agency like DataCite. Then ICSU - CODATA's Data Science Journal is consid-
ering to realize data citation. On the other hand, Open Researcher & Contributor ID (ORCID)
launched its registry service on Oct. 2012. Under these situation, we planned to put the both
IDs into above mentioned metadata to create linkage between raw data and data contributor.
As a first step, we put ORCID ID into the metadata.
