FREYA project (Horizon 2020) is hosting a webinar on Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) for instruments, a webinar that is very relevant for the ENVRI community.

Description

The FREYA project’s objective is to foster the development, maturation, implementation and wider adoption of current and emerging Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) for physical and digital objects. PIDs form a pillar of FAIR science and are already widely implemented (e.g. DOI’s, ORCIDs, CrossRef Funder IDs), with new PIDs being developed for more transparent and reproducible science and for a more sustainable use of research funding through data reuse. This webinar will present the current status of PIDs for measurement instruments to its stakeholder community, including examples of early adoption and forward looking developments. Instruments used for measurements have a large impact on data quality, utility and reusability and a consistent method to describe and identify instruments was therefore the focus of the PIDINST RDA WG (co-chair: Markus Stocker). The metadata schema developed by the WG is currently used by early adopters to register Instrument DOI’s (DataCite) and handles (epic) to enrich dataset metadata in dataset publications and data archiving. The WG has connected with the international community to align concurrent efforts and adopt stakeholder feedback, as this important PID gains traction. This FREYA webinar is devised for research infrastructures, organisations and researchers interested in knowing more about PID’s for their instruments or planning an implementation of this ’emerging’ PID.
