Upcoming Webinars
The Persistent Identifiers (PID) Graph and its Potential: Extending Persistent Identifiers for Research Data
February 27, 2020 at 1:00 PM ET
Presented by: Ricarda Braukmann, DANS; Robin Dasler, DataCite; Ketil Koop-Jakobsen, PANGAEA
The Persistent Identifiers (PID) Graph provides a great example of the potential of persistent identifiers. Developed through the FREYA project, the PID Graph provides a way to connect and understand the relationships between different entities involved in the research process including researchers, research organisations, publications and datasets. The webinar will also describe some of our disciplinary implementations of the PID Graph and provide information about how attendees can find out more about identifiers.
