DataCite is a not-for-profit organisation which aims to:
Their purpose is to develop and support methods to locate, identify and cite data and other research objects – specifically, they develop and support the standards behind persistent identifiers for data.
Organisations which are members of DataCite can assign persistent identifiers (most notably DOIs, or digital object identifiers) to datasets.
