Daniel S. Katz, Morane Gruenpeter
In this talk you will learn about the sea of different software identifiers that exist, and where they are used. If you study this topic, you may feel you are drowning. Which identifier seems most natural for you to use probably depends on your role, whether you are a publisher, librarian, software developer, software user, informatics researcher, etc. Your discipline may also matter, as there are different identifiers in use in different fields, such as life sciences, astronomy, math, etc. We'll talk about this and how all of these identifiers are related. Hopefully you will be able to help, including using persistent identifiers (PIDs) as much as possible. By the end of the talk, perhaps you will no longer be drowning but will be swimming comfortably.
