  2. Minimal Micro-service philosophy Agnostic Identifier schemes Metadata Uniform interface Identifier scheme is a choice Broad applicability Repository batch operationsand individual one-offs Publication time and earlierin workflows • How do identifier schemes differ? • Technical characteristics • – E.g., partial resolution • Implementation • – Local server vs. central service • Scope & policies • – Metadata, citation support • Cost • – Per-identifier, or not • Community acceptance • – E.g., LSIDs Guiding principles

  3. End-user UI, API • Ownership, access control • External service communication • Services (minting, reservation, tombstoning, metadata mapping) • Policy enforcement • Notification, reporting DataCite EZID N2T “name-to-thing” • Resolution (ARKs and others) • Metadata binding • Replicated; high-availability Architecture OCA

  4. Issue: is metadata required? • Yes • DOI standard, DataCite require citation metadata • No • EZID: not absolute requirement • Other use cases (e.g., dataset granules), extra burden • Sure is nice, though • Metadata reflects intention • Without it, must rely on identifier (hopefully opaque) and target URL (may be inscrutable or ambiguous)

  5. Issue: what does an identifier resolve to? • Something human-readable? • DataCite requires “landing page” • (What if there isn’t one?) • Something machine-readable? • RDF, OAI-ORE, ERC,… • If yes to both, selection mechanism? • CrossRef/DataCite: HTTP content negotiation • imperfect • ARK proposal: “inflections” (decorators) • http://resolver/identifier?
