After welcoming the participants and introducing the workshop agenda, PID4NFDI will give a short project overview and present its current status and activities, results from a PID landscape analysis and future plans.
This presentation provides an introduction to DataCite, a global non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the research community through persistent identifiers (PIDs). DataCite plays a key role in making research outputs—including datasets, software, and other non-traditional research materials—findable, citable, and interconnected. The talk will highlight the importance of PIDs and...
The European Persistent Identifier Consortium (ePIC) is a collaborative initiative established in 2009 to enhance the management of research data through the use of PIDs. With nine founding members, ePIC aims to provide a robust and user-friendly PID system that supports researchers in creating, processing, and resolving identifiers for their digital resources. As the volume and complexity of...
PIDA is a lightweight PURL service that provides unique persistent URLs (PURLs) that can be used as internationalized resource identifiers (IRIs) within semantic artifacts such as glossaries, thesauri, ontologies and knowledge graphs. The main objective is to support and facilitate the findability and accessibility of semantic artifacts published on the Web in the long term. PIDs provided by...
This talk introduces ARKs (Archival Resource Keys), decentralized non-paywalled persistent identifiers (PIDs) used for decades to identify scientific and cultural heritage of any type, digital, physical, or abstract. Since 2001, 8.2 billion ARKs have been created by over 1400 organizations – data centers, publishers, libraries, archives, museums, and government agencies. With highly flexible...
Microbial strains can be known by a myriad of different strain designations, culture collection numbers and sequence accessions, which poses a challenge to the communication of research findings, as well as the comparison and reuse of data. Culture collection numbers have the advantage of being unique, stable and subject to high quality standards. Nevertheless, each collection receiving a...
Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) at the study or dataset level are insufficient for addressing the
complexity of data management in research. The lack of granularity citation at the level of inline data objects, such as individual survey variables, qualitative data files, and even smaller data points, leads to ambiguities in data citation, inadequate metadata, and data discovery and reusability...
