Persistent identifiers (PID) are essential to make data objects FAIR, such as publications, data sets, organisations and people. But PIDs are not persistent and globally unique by magic. In this workshop, we will present and discuss the collection of services, resolution mechanisms, and other management issues that result in a branded or unique PID service. This is called a "PID stack". We will use the "PID Knowledge Base" that provides information on a wide variety of facets of PIDs.
Which building blocks are required for a branded or unique PID service?
This workshop is aimed at data stewards and researchers that are interested in finding out which PID service is most suitable for them.
The learning outcomes of the workshop are:
- To understand the role of PIDs in the research workflow
- To get an overview of the PID ecosystem (actors, roles, “stacks”)
- To know where to find information on PIDs (introduction of the PID Knowledge Base, that can be accessed at: https://cat.argo.grnet.gr/pid-selection)
The workshop is prepared by:
