National Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) Strategy Session
Wednesday October 04, 2023
From 3:45pm to 5:00pm
SFU Downtown Campus - ICBC Concourse Salons 10, 20, 30
Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) – long-lasting and unique digital labels for people (researchers), places (research organizations), and things (research outputs) – help disambiguate and connect information across the increasingly complex digital research ecosystem. As CRKN works to advance access to knowledge, we believe that PIDs are key to an efficient and interoperable research ecosystem. CRKN leads the ORCID Canada Consortium and co-manages the DataCite Canada Consortium with the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, providing critical support for these PIDs across the country. As these consortia have matured, the timing is right for a National PID Strategy to better coordinate their work and to look beyond ORCID iDs and DataCite DOIs. Please join us to learn more about the existing PID program at CRKN, the work to develop and implement a National PID Strategy, and to hear presentations from our members on the value of a national strategy and use cases for PIDs at their institutions.
