Defintion of PIDs

• A persistent identifier (PI or PID) is a long-lasting reference to a document, file, web page, or other object (from Wikipedia).
• PID registers typically store core metadata with the PID
• PIDs are used in data infrastructures to link to common information
• Harmonizing the use of PIDs may improve interoperability of datasets between data repositories

Criteria for the evaluation of PID Systems

1. PID is globally unambiguously registerable
2. PIDs are widely used, e.g. recommended by national and international organizations
3. PID registrar has transparent governance
4. Handle system has stable funding
5. PID system is reliably available and maintained
6. PIDs have an adequate metadata set
7. PID registration is open to all (vs. paying users only)
8. PID is machine readable via API
9. Further developments are downward compatible (with previous updates, content and technical)
10. Also: What other PID systems capture the same types of data?
