"California Digital Library (CDL) is proud to formally sign 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."
