Software and hardware have been an integral part of scientific research and are increasingly recog­nized in academic journals and conferences that often encourage their dissemination upon publication. Open Harware is defined as a ”physical artifact, either electrical or mechanical, whose design information is avail­able to, and usable by, the public in a way that allows anyone to make, modify, distribute, and use” it. It  can refer to a wide range of objects such as computers, scientific instruments, 3D printed furniture, physical constructions, and robots.

FAIR research software skills and training curriculums need to be identified and incorporated into broader efforts to facilitate increased support and recognition for the qualified personnel needed to achieve open science.

The existing RDA WGs and IGs linked to PIDs tend to focus on technical challenges, updates from specific PID providers on their activities and the state of the art, or on discipline-specific needs or challenges. The National PID Strategies WG would explore how PIDs form part of national policy implementation frameworks.

It is the objective of this group to i) discuss the nature of information ii) characterize the variant concepts in different fields and iii) evaluate to conequences for research data management.
