-PIDINST is used to uniquely identify instruments in data infrastructures. +It is recommended that everyone in the Helmholtz Association use PIDInst to identify instruments in data infrastructures wherever and whenever possible.
- +
- +
-For organizations this means: +
-   * employ measures and incentives to register instruments with PIDINST at acquisition.  +
-   * make a person responsible to maintain the PIDINST for each instrument (e.g. lab technicians).  +
-For technicians: +
-   * register a PIDINST for instruments which weren’t registered yet. +
-   * keep the PIDINST related metadata of your instruments current. +
-   * Keep a written record of the PIDINST on every instrument, where possible +
-   * share the PIDINST with the customer with any measurement data you deliver. +
-For researchers it means: +
-   * record an PIDINST with any measurement. You should find it on the instrument.  +
-For data infrastructures: +
-   * record a PIDINST with instruments registered in data infrastructures. +
-   * treat PIDINST metadata as the primary source of truth and update your own metadata accordingly. +
-   * inform the responsible person if you think the PIDINST metadata is not accurate. +

 +DataCite can also be used to identify instruments by assigning DOIs to them. This allows for the unique identification and citation of instruments in research publications .
 +
 +electronic Persistent Identifier for eResearch (ePIC) is a PID service that provides persistent identifiers for various types of research objects, including instruments. It is designed to support the unique identification of instruments and other research entities, facilitating better data management and sharing. The ePIC infrastructure has been used for prototypical implementation of PIDINST metadata properties.
 +
 +International Geo Sample Number (IGSN) is a persistent identifier for physical samples, particularly in the geosciences. While primarily focused on samples, the IGSN framework can be adapted to identify instruments used in geological and environmental research. This helps in tracking the provenance and usage of instruments in field studies.
 +
 +Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is primarily used to uniquely identify researchers and contributors, it can be part of a broader ecosystem of persistent identifiers that includes instruments. By linking instruments to the researchers who use them, ORCID can help in creating a more comprehensive and interconnected research data management system.
 +
 +The Handle System is a widely used persistent identifier system that provides unique identifiers for digital objects. It can be used to assign persistent identifiers to instruments, ensuring that they can be uniquely identified and referenced in research data and publications. The Handle System is highly customizable and can be adapted to various use cases, including instrument identification.

 +   * register a PIDINST for instruments which weren’t registered yet. 
 +   * keep the PIDINST related metadata of your instruments current.
