Ivo Wijnbergen
Ivo Wijnbergen is the Director of Strategic Development at ORCID, leading strategic initiatives to strengthen global PID infrastructure and foster open, connected scholarly communication. His work focuses on building sustainable strategic relationships with key policy making and influencing organisations, advancing the inclusion of persistent identifiers into core research workflows.
At PID Fest, Ivo will present "Keeping Knowledge Connected in the AI Era." His session addresses the vital role PID infrastructure plays in ensuring research outputs remain discoverable, verifiable, and meaningfully linked as artificial intelligence transforms the scientific ecosystem.
Session
In the AI era, the explosive growth of science and technology resources and interdisciplinary convergence have posed unprecedented challenges to knowledge infrastructure. Ensuring that massive science and technology resources are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR principles) on a global scale has become a central issue in the development of open science. As the "digital ID card" for digital objects, Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) serve as the critical technical foundation for connecting fragmented knowledge and building a trustworthy research ecosystem.
In this workshop focuses on the opportunities and challenges of PID infrastructure in the AI era, exploring how persistent identifiers empower artificial intelligence to understand and connect scientific knowledge. Representatives from DataCite, South China Botanical Garden, Chinese National Space Data Center and Africa PID Alliance are invited to share practices across different identifier systems and regions
