  2. Many interesting contributions at the #PIDfest conference in #Prague are now published in the Czech National Library of Technology's repository.

    There were many exciting contributions and I can highly recommend them.

    The first keynote "Why PID matters" provides an introduction to the topic of persistent identifiers from different perspectives.

  4. The Navigation Fund’s #OpenScience Program.

    From @inundata :

    > We aim to support transformative ideas that will reshape the future of open science. Submit your ideas via our interest form! Learn more: navigation.org/grants/open-sci

    > we don’t have any citizenship/residency requirements.

    Initial focus areas:

    - Improving #DataInfrastructure

    - Novel Publishing Models and Infrastructure: Shifting the Narrative

    - Improving the #PersistentIdentifiers Ecosystem and Applications (#PIDFest was timely!)

    Types of grants:

    - Innovation, for Prototype Development and Implementation (up to $500k USD) and for Expert Gatherings (Working Groups) ($20k-$100k)

    - Validation & Scaling ($500k-$2M)

    - Growth ($1M-$5M)

  5. The Digital Object Container Identifier (DOCiD) is envisioned "to ensure indigenous knowledge and cultural heritage preservation" by tracking the lifecycle of an object while honoring a desire for data sovereignty.

  6. A concise maturity model for an organization's effective use of #PersistentIdentifiers ( #PIDs ), presented by Siobhann McCafferty and @pid_perth at #PIDFest:

    Level 0: your metadata is unstructured. Effective PID use is impossible. 🙂

    Level 1: your metadata *is* structured, in a way others recognize as relevant, and you do keep local identifiers. Effective PID use is now possible, but implausible.

    Level 2: human beings get and apply PIDs to digital research entities. Effective PID use is plausible, but not probable.

    Level 3: running software mints/binds/resolves PIDs to automatically use their structured metadata to do things. Effective PID use is probable, but not powerful.

    Level 4: running institutional workflows -- systems of people plus software -- take advantage of PID minting, binding, and resolution. Effective PID use is powerful, but not presumed.

    Level 5: PID-integrated workflows are the norm. Effective PID use is now presumed.

  7. Siobhann McCafferty and @pid_perth spoke on #PersistentIdentifiers for Instruments at #PIDFest
    These #PIDs are for physical *instances*, not e.g. instrument make-model catalog entries (cf. RRIDs (rrids.org/), e.g. n2t.net/rrid:SCR_000011).

    Offered "best practices": use a DOI or a Handle, use the #PIDINST metadata schema (doi.org/10.15497/RDA00070), and use Handles for instrument calibration data. No formal recommendation offered re: schema for "calibration metadata record" or "configuration metadata record".

    One expressed hope: #MachineLearning for instrument calibration via calibration metadata records for particular instruments.

  8. Each DOI resolution costs five millipennies. The DOI Foundation facilitates 1.7B resolutions per month across >350M registered DOIs with seven part-time staff (~3 FTE equivalent) for a total operating cost under 1M USD per year.

    presented at #PIDFest by Jonathan Clark of the DOI Foundation

    Edit: I realized the DOI acronym might benefit from expansion; it means Digital Object Identifier (see doi.org for more), and it’s a notorious (connotation not intended!) kind of permalink for digital outputs of scientific research.

  9. @BarcelonaDORI

    And David Shotton, whom I had the honour of meeting. Among other things, he supported the efforts to include OpenCitations features in OJS and was always willing to share his expertise. An obituary can be found here: mastodon.social/@opencitations. @MsPhelps paid tribute to his life and work in the session. Thank you for that, Bianca!

    The closing session began by honouring two deceased members of our community. One was Sarah Jones, in whose honour a prize named after her has now been awarded: rd-alliance.org/the-sarah-jone

  11. The day was to busy to report from the #PIDfest. Today was mainly unconference.

    Emerging #PIDs like for conference, and awards and prices were discussed in the #unconference part I attended. It was really interesting to hear about different use cases and requirements. There seems to be consensus, that those would be useful additions to the #OpenResearchInformation commons.

  12. Had a great #pidfest After presenting a RAiD like workflow doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.25, we got access to the demo version of the RAiD API. …so here is a demo with an actual RAiD workflow: overleaf.com/read/vnpvrdkbqswr maybe the first RAid to Author and Author contribution statement demo? #overleaf #figshare #ORCid #RAiD

  13. Now the second part of the session on conference #PIDs. Aliaksandr Birukou & Daria Piccinelli of Springer Nature ask "Where are we with the conference PIDs?"

    Interesting, they created a timeline of conference PIDs. Looking forward for the slides.

  15. Adam Buttrick from ROR walking the audience through our curation model and sharing details on how we process a high volume of requests while maintaining data quality and consistency and aligning with community use cases #pidfest

  16. Now the great #DTU team (Karen Hytteballe Ibanez and Nikoline Dohm Lauridsen from #DanishTechnicalUniversity) about the Danish National Open Research Analytics (NORA) and the Research Portal #Denmark: forskningsportal.dk/.

  17. Interesting inputs in the first panel of the #PIDfest. Joy Owango mentioned, how important it is to become data producers instead of only consumers, with a relation to overcoming #helicopterscience on indigenous knowledge.

    Caroline Finch talked about the challenge to make it clear to researchers that #PIDs are relevant and not only an administrative burden.

  22. On the way to #PIDfest in #Prague. In the train from Berlin we already saw some others from Germany who are going there.

    Happy to meet you all there and o discuss #PIDs, #OpenResearchInformation, #VIVO, #Metadata, #OpenScience, #ResponsibleResearchEvaluation etc.
