California Digital Library (CDL) Releases Statement on Endorsing the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information (DORI)
From a CDL Post by John Chodaki:
California Digital Library (CDL) is proud to formally endorse the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information and commit to supporting and participating in open, transparent and community-governed research information systems.
The values articulated in the Barcelona Declaration – openness, transparency, inclusivity and the commitment to public infrastructure – resonate deeply with CDL’s mission and long-standing efforts. From our leadership roles in initiatives such as Crossref, DataCite, the Research Organization Registry (ROR), and the US National Persistent Identifier (PID) Strategy to our stewardship of open services and platforms, CDL has consistently worked to reduce barriers, enable interoperability, and build trusted, community-led infrastructure.

By endorsing the Barcelona Declaration, CDL affirms that open research information is not only a public good, but also a foundation upon which more efficient and trustworthy scholarly communication can be built. We invite our partners and peers to join us in advancing this shared vision.
