  1. Persistent identifiers for instruments (PIDINST) working group Louise Darroch British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) National Oceanography Centre (NOC) RDA-UK/FREYA Workshop, London, 16thJuly 2019

  2. Persistent identifiers • It is customary to think that PIDs are only used to cite journals or datasets…. Classic example: Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

  3. How PIDs are being used • Increasingly, PIDs are being used to universally locate and identify physical things or events A sample A person A biological entity Life Science Identifier (LSID) International Geo Sample Number (IGSN) ORCID ID

  4. PIDs and instruments • Long lasting identifiers are already being used to identify resources related to instruments • All resolvable • Not all metadata is easily extractable • Not all true PIDs?

  5. An example of a deployment DOI registered at global provider

  6. PIDs and instruments • Long lasting identifiers are already being used to identify resources related to instruments • All resolvable • Not all metadata is easily extractable • Not all true PIDs?

  7. What is an instrument instance? • Instrument model - design (iphone 7) • https://www.apple.com/uk/iphone-7/specs/ • Instrument instance – physical thing

  8. Why PIDs? • Part of the research object (transparency) • Metrics/funding (credit) • Associated metadata puts data into context (integrity) • Streamline workflows (machine automation)

  9. FAIR Data Guiding Principles Wilkinson et al. Scientific Datavolume3, Article number: 160018 (2016) https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18

  10. Research Data Alliance (RDA) • Persistent Identification of Instruments (PIDINST) WG • Chairs: • Markus Stocker (lead) – TIB (DE) • Louise Darroch – BODC/NOC (UK) • Andrew Janke – NIF (AUS) • Alessandro Oggioni – CNR/IREA (ITL) • Endorsed: • March 2018 • Over 50 international members • https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/persistent-identification-instruments

  11. Gather cross-community use cases • Some examples…..

  12. Real world application • UK Polar Data Centre Meteorology • Wide range of polar data (e.g. marine, biological, atmospheric etc.) • Instrument asset management systems • Reduce data ingestion times RRS Sir David Attenborough Wildlife

  13. Real world application http://hdl.handle.net/102.100.100/50043 • E.g. Molecular, Human, Materials Imaging • 10 nodes across Australia • NIF-certified data • Instruments must be NIF-compliant with registered unique ID (IUID) • Associate QA/QC procedures (trust/integrity)

  14. Real world application • Journal for describing large-scale facilities • Human readable articles • Machine readable metadata • Link to other resources (e.g. research articles) • Link to sub-components • Credit to assets

  15. Metadata schema for PID providers https://github.com/rdawg-pidinst/ Gathered cross-community use-cases Metadata alignment exercise Rationalise to a metadata schema In discussions for adoption (e.g. DataCite)

  16. Institutional provider white paper (technical report) • Aimed at institutional instrument providers • Advise on publishing institutional metadata • Wide range of topics (e.g. content negotiation, linking data, landing pages, calibrations etc.)
