Speaker
Description
At CERN, managing and preserving academic events is a key component of our scientific information ecosystem. Indico serves as our event management system, facilitating the organization of conferences and workshops. CDS, our institutional repository, ensures the long-term archiving of publications, including presentations and proceedings. We also operate Zenodo, a globally accessible platform that supports open science across all disciplines, and INSPIRE, the central hub for the High Energy Physics community, where users can register upcoming conferences, enabling the automatic indexing of proceedings when they are published in various repositories.
In this talk, I will explore the current use of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) in our workflows, the challenges we face, and the need for a global registry, along with improvements in metadata quality, discoverability, and integration.
