DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, you will hear about the process of colle
 cting use cases and developing best practices for PIDs for Instruments and
  Facilities in the Australian context.\n\nIf you are interested in learnin
 g more about how facilities and instruments can be identified in a Nationa
 l context\, then this session is for you. Attendees will gain an insight i
 nto how the i4iOZ (identifiers for instruments\, Australasia) Community of
  Practice have developed best‑practice guidelines for facility and instr
 ument identification across the country.\n\nThese best practices are infor
 med by the Australian National PID Strategy and international standards su
 ch as PIDINST and the work of the FAIR Facilities and Instruments Network.
  This session will also provide real-world use cases to support effective 
 PID adoption from organisations implementing these approaches.

DESCRIPTION:From its origins as the International Geo Sample Number over tw
 o decades ago\, IGSN has evolved into a widely recognised persistent ident
 ifier for physical objects. Now known as the International Generic Sample 
 Number\, it assigns unique\, persistent identifiers to physical samples ac
 ross disciplines—from geoscience to archaeology and materials science. M
 anaged by IGSN e.V. and strengthened through a strategic partnership with 
 DataCite\, IGSN has grown rapidly\, surpassing 14.8 million registered sam
 ples by February 2026.\n\nToday\, IGSN is evolving to meet modern research
  needs. It will integrate into the global PID Graph\, linking with identif
 iers like ORCID and ROR to enhance data connectivity and machine readabili
 ty. At the same time\, efforts to align IGSN with international standards 
 and ontologies are improving interoperability across disciplines. Together
 \, these advances position IGSN as a vital backbone for FAIR\, connected\,
  and future-ready scientific data ecosystems worldwide.
