Dieser Workshop beleuchtet den Einsatz von Persistente Identifikatoren (PIDs) für akademische Veranstaltungen wie Konferenzen und Workshops.
PIDs ermöglichen eine zuverlässige und dauerhafte Identifizierung, was zu besserer Auffindbarkeit, Vernetzung und Langzeitarchivierung von Veranstaltungsdaten beiträgt.
Im Workshop:
Der Workshop zu PIDs für wissenschaftliche Veranstaltungen findet im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe des DFG-geförderten Projekts PID Network Deutschland statt. Ziel des Workshops ist es, die Rolle von PIDs bei der Optimierung von Organisation, Sichtbarkeit, Integration und Qualitätskontrolle akademischer Veranstaltungen in akademische Informationsinfrastruktursysteme näher zu beleuchten.
Die Vorträge finden in deutscher und englischer Sprache statt (Details siehe Tagesordnung). Alle Folien werden in englischer Sprache sein.
This workshop highlights the use of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) for academic events such as conferences and workshops.
PIDs enable reliable and permanent identification, which contributes to better findability, networking and long-term archiving of event data.
In this workshop:
The workshop on PIDs for acadmic events is part of the event series of the DFG-funded project PID Network Germany. The aim of the workshop is to take a closer look at the role of PIDs in optimizing the organization, visibility, integration and quality control of scientific events in scientific information infrastructure systems.
Presentations will be given in German and English (see agenda for details). All slides will be in English.
Introduction to the project PID Network Deutschland
This presentation defines the concept of an academic event and explores the development of PIDs for such events, addressing key challenges and requirements from various stakeholders. It focuses on ConfIDent, a metadata registry service designed to fill the gap in research information infrastructure by providing a DOI and standardized metadata aligning with ConfIDent metadata schema and schema.org for academic events. While PIDs for publications, researchers, or organizations are well-established, academic events lack similar structured identification.
This presentation takes a look at how academic events are being reflected in PID registrations and what kind of metadata are provided for them, focusing on DataCite DOIs. With metadata schemata not specifically tailored to academic events, how can PID metadata still distinguish academic events from other kinds of events, and from their output? In existing PID metadata, how well documented are the connections between events and their context, contributors, output, etc.?
The AIDA Dashboard is a powerful system, developed in collaboration with Springer Nature, for analysing and comparing scientific journals and conferences. By leveraging a large-scale Knowledge Graph that integrates billions of data points about research from multiple sources, it offers unique, sophisticated analytics and rankings. This helps inform critical business and editorial decisions for those navigating the research publishing world.
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.
Die Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI) ist mit knapp 20.000 Mitgliedern die größte Fachgesellschaft für Informatik im deutschsprachigen Raum. Die 14 Fachbereiche, etwa 150 Fachgruppen, 30 Regionalgruppen und verschiedenen Arbeitskreise und Task Forces veranstaltet unzählige Fachkonferenzen, Symposien und Workshops. Der Veranstaltungskalender der GI umfasst jedes Jahr knapp 500 Veranstaltungen. In seinem Vortrag spricht Daniel Krupka über die Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten von PIDs für wissenschaftliche Events aus Sicht der GI.
Current Features of the EconBiz Calendar of Events Conferences etc. were integrated as a resource type "events" relatively early in the history of the subject portal EconBiz. Over the years, requirements and indexing and presentation of the events changed. Unique identifiers for events and for relevant metadata fields are not yet achieved. More collaborative or automated indexing as well as PIDs could help to optimize workflows and coverage.
In this short talk, I will present the main features of the EconBiz calendar of events as well as potential for optimizations.

Since 2009 the events were automatically posted through Twitter/X, since 2025 they are only posted through a new Bluesky account: https://bsky.app/profile/econbiz-events.bsky.social
As a publisher of open access conference proceedings series, TIB Open Publishing has a vital interest in persistent information about the conferences the proceedings volumes correspond to. Often, same URLs are reused by subsequent conferences or websites are not maintained after the end of an event. This can cause downstream problems for publishers: e.g., some indexing services inquire about scientific committees and other conference details. Hence, if such information is lost it might have negative impacts on the visibility of conference publications. The presentation explores how conference PIDs could help to avoid those problems.
The TIB AV-Portal turns scientific videos into "real publications", which can be cited to the second using a combination of Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and Media Fragment Identifier (MFID). Conference recordings are used to demonstrate the practical added value and advantages of PIDs for scholarly audiovisual material.
As part of the metadata curation in ConfIDent each scientific event obtains a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) from DataCite, in order to ensure the persistent accessibility of the dataset.
The dissemination of DOIs of scientific events in metadata descriptions for events and publications in various library catalogues leads to multiple links between platforms, to better visibility of the DOIs and to an increase in the level of awareness of ConfIDent among library users and researchers interested in finding the right academic conference to attend.
This presentation provides an overview of the various library catalogues and metadata types into which DOIs for scientific events can be added, and gives an outlook on further possible connections between datasets.
The dblp computer science bibliography is not only an open indexing service and search engine for computer science publications, but also a directory of all major computer science journals and conferences. We show how this open data is organized and linked in the dblp Knowledge Graph and how it can be used to gain insights into the evolving field of computer science.
This presentation provides an introduction to authority records for conferences and their entry in the Integrated Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei GND).
Conference organization is a lot of work, and it is oftentimes not rewarded. To uncover this invisible work, there needs to be a foundational layer of trustworthy metadata. In this presentation concepts of responsible research evaluation will be discussed and a use case will be described. One key aspect will be the role of research information systems in evaluating this important part of the academic life.
