PIDfest 26

Is there a PID for that? Identifying consortia, teams and companies.

You too might have seen the need to collect information on research groups, partner companies and consortia that come in all kinds of shapes. Existing PIDs for organizations, however, focus mainly on stable academic entities. Is it possible to adapt existing PIDs for this purpose or do we need to come up with new ones? Come to find out about PIDs you didn't even know existed, and get ready for some PID "hacking". You will learn about LEIs and SWHIDs, think about the nature of collaborations, and get creative with PIDs!


This lightning talk will briefly state the challenge and then present a number of creative – and at times not quite serious – solution proposals.
