Do you ever feel like your research data is drifting further away from the physical objects that inspired it? Keeping knowledge connected to baseline data from specimens and samples is a massive hurdle, but it is exactly what you will learn to master in this session.
You will explore how the Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) uses PIDs in the form of FAIR Digital Object compliant DOIs to create "Digital Twins" for billions of biological and geological specimens. We’ll dive straight into how you can confront the barriers of technical debt and institutional silos. You will gain a clear understanding of how FAIR Digital Objects turn static records into living, linked data and discover practical strategies to ensure PID infrastructure remains sustainable for the long haul.
Don't let your data become a dead end - come find out how to keep the world’s scientific heritage permanently connected.
