PID4NFDI

Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are of central importance to FAIR research data management. However, different research disciplines and different resources result in diverse requirements. Also, the 27 NFDI consortia have different levels of maturity in PID implementation. PID4NFDI will design a work programme to build an NFDI foundation service on established PID infrastructures.

Project Goals

Within the initialisation phase it is planned to lay the foundation for further phases through use cases analysis, requirement engineering and concept development. PID4NFDI will follow a clear path of promoting the uptake by PID infrastructures and service providers and will only develop and operate NFDI-specific services if necessary. The goal is to roll-out a portfolio of services that covers the various use cases and requirements of the NFDI consortia.

GWDG’s Role in the project

Landscape analysis of PID practices within the NFDI based on a survey of NFDI consortia
Requirements analysis of selected use-cases from within the NFDI consortia
Map identified requirements to capabilities of existing PID infrastructures and services
Develop Concepts to improve metadata interoperability and quality
