Presentation from a joint FREYA and OpenAIRE webinar "New developments in the field of Persistent Identifiers" (PIDs) that covers OpenAIRE Content Acquisition Policy, role of PIDs in OpenAIRE, OpenAIRE Guidelines and their objectives, use of PIDs for different kinds of entities and provides some examples.

4. Objectives of OpenAIRE’s Aggregation Policy
Content Acquisition Policy released 05-Oct-2018, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1446408
5. OpenAIRE accepts the metadata records
of all scientific products whose structure
respect the model and semantics as
expressed by the OpenAIRE guidelines.
This means that both Open Access and
non-Open Access material will be
included and links to other products will
be resolved where this is possible (i.e. the
provided PIDs have a resolver).

8. ● to improve interoperability of metadata information
exchange
● to support FAIR Data Principles
● by defining application profiles to describe different
kinds of research products
● by re-using existing standards (Dublin Core, DataCite)
● by extending vocabularies when necessary,
○ e.g. for PID types
OpenAIRE Guidelines Objectives
9. PIDs for the Resource Identifier
9
<datacite:identifier>
identifierType="DOI">
https://dx.doi.org/10.17026/dans-zr6-atf9
</datacite:identifier>
● OpenAIRE extends DataCite’s list of PID identifier types:
○ ARK
○ DOI
○ Handle
○ PURL
○ URL
○ URN
10. (P)IDs for Alternative Identifiers of the Resource
10
● other identifier(s) applied to the same resource, incl.
local identifiers expressed in alternate Identifier Type:
○ ARK
○ arXiv
○ bibcode
○ DOI
○ EAN13
○ ISSN
○ IGSN
○ ISTC
○ PMID
○ URN
○ ...
<datacite:alternateIdentifier>
alternateIdentifierType="URN">
urn:nbn:nl:ui:13-ef0u-oq
</datacite:alternateIdentifier>
11. (P)IDs for Related Identifiers to the Resource
11
● identifier(s) that are related to the registered resource, e.g. community-IDs
incl. relation type, related metadata scheme & resource type, list of related
Identifier Types includes e.g.:
○ ARK
○ arXiv
○ bibcode
○ DOI
○ EAN13
○ ISSN
○ IGSN
○ ISTC
○ PMID
○ URN
○ ...
<datacite:relatedIdentifier>
relatedIdentifierType="DOI"
relationType="isReferencedBy">
10.1186/s12910-016-0120-6
</datacite:alternateIdentifier>
12. PIDs for Authors & Contributors
12
<datacite:creator>
<datacite:creatorName>Wallentin, Carl‐Johan</datacite:creatorName>
<datacite:nameIdentifier
nameIdentifierScheme="ORCID"
schemeURI=“http://orcid.org">
http://orcid.org/0000-0003-1983-9378
</datacite:nameIdentifier>
</datacite:creator>
● OpenAIRE follows DataCite’s approach of an open list
of name Identifiers, such as:
○ ORCID
○ ISNI
13. PIDs for Funders and Project Grants
13
<datacite:fundingReference>
<datacite:funderName>European Commission</datacite:funderName>
<fundingStream>H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions</fundingStream>
<datacite:funderIdentifier
funderIdentifierType="Crossref Funder ID">10.13039/501100000780
</datacite:funderIdentifier>
<datacite:awardNumber
awardURI="http://cordis.europa.eu/project/...">
660668
</datacite:awardNumber>
<datacite:awardTitle>ACT against AMR</datacite:awardTitle>
</datacite:fundingReference>
● to support linking of research products with related project(s) / funder(s)
● again an open list of funder Identifier types, such as:
○ Crossref Funder
○ ISNI
○ GRID
15. ● Improving the discovery and integration of
community-specific identifiers and metadata
○ e.g. DDI
● Improving the integration of DOI versioning as
supported by Zenodo
