In 2020, the Canadian Persistent Identifier Advisory Committee (CPIDAC) replaced the ORCID-CA Advisory Committee. The CPIDAC acts in the interests of the Canadian scholarly and research communities by providing expertise and advice to both the ORCID-CA Governing Committee and the DataCite Canada Consortium Governing Committee on leveraging maximum benefits through national adoption and use of PIDs. Since 2021, the CPIDAC has steered the development of a national PID strategy for Canada.
The DataCite Canada Governing Committee (DCCGC), composed of and elected by DataCite Canada Consortium members, provides governance and operational oversight for DataCite Canada to function effectively and sustainably into the future, with program support jointly administered by CRKN and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.
