[Userinvolvement] Supporting citation

[Thorsten Trippel]

Dear all,

the Lindat example may contain a handle but this is not the classic way 
to cite a handle which whould be hdl:11372/LRT-386 or as an actionable 
PID it would be http://hdl.handle.net/11372/LRT-386. Though the path in 
the URL says "handle" it does not become a handle just by saying so in 
the path, but by being resolvable via the handle-resolver.

Neither of them shows an obvious link to lindat. So I guess we should 
prefer something like Footnote "The data is available at 
http://hdl.handle.net/11372/LRT-386, provided via the CLARIN Research 
infrastructure" or in the reference section as Branco, António (2014). 
Nexing Corpus. http://hdl.handle.net/11372/LRT-386 provided via the 
CLARIN Research infrastructure"

Zotero would not be more helpful as I do not see that Zotero provides 
PIDs that are sustainable (i.e. independent of the hosting institution). 
Maybe some day Zotero will be certified and provide real PIDs ;-)

Greetings

Thorsten
