PID enthusiasts of the world unite!  This session is all about joining up the research world with PIDS and joining up the PID world with collaborative initiaties.

Using persistent identifiers to reference all the key elements of research is an aspiration to improve research efficiency and innovation in a globally joined-up information system. This session will review some of the latest developments in persistent identifiers for the scholarly system and identify opportunities for coordination.

• Share latest information on PID initiatives

• Identify opportunities for joined up effort

  In this session we will also look at both the

• PID service provider perspective – looking at cololaborative initiatives between PID service providers

• PID user perspective: how research organisations are joining up their worlds using identifiers and what benefits they are realising

1. Intro and PID IG for newcomers

2. PID services lightning “one slide” updates (including ROR, IGSN, RRID, DataCite, SWHID…)

3. PID system  collaboration updates (FREYA, Making Data Count…)

4. PID user snapshots (PIDs in data management plans; PIDs for open science)

5. Discussion: What have we learnt from these initiatives?  What kind of joined-up system are we looking for? Why? What are we trying to fix? What are the next steps in that direction?

The target audience covers a wide cross-section of the RDA community. Indeed, anyone who is engaged in producing, storing, management and preservation of data should care about PIDs. In practice, this meeting will appeal most to organisations that provide PID services to the international research community and organisations that implement or otherwise use PIDs
