Abstract

Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are increasingly central to the operation of open scholarly infrastructure. Future innovations using the resulting PID graph will require rich relational metadata about people, places, and things to be generated about scholarly entities. Open repositories will be -- and in some cases already are -- an important generator of PID-centric data. However, there remain technical and socio-technical issues in implementing specific PIDs within open repositories, including the most common PID type: digital object identifiers (DOIs). This session will introduce some of the concepts associated with PIDs and consider important 'soft' issues surrounding DOI implementation in repositories. Focusing on an EPrints-CRIS system ecosystem, the session will use the University of Strathclyde repository, Strathprints, as a case study to explore practical implementation issues. This will include to consideration of specific technical issues and common 'pain points', as well as operational matters, such as DOI minting for accepted author manuscripts. Some background on how DOI registration with DataCite functions will be addressed. The relevance of other related persistent identifier (PID) schemes, such as ORCIDs and RORs, will be noted, as well as emerging distributed possibilities like CORE OAI IDs. The overall purpose will be to demystify repository DOI minting for those institutions contemplating implementation for UKRI/Plan S compliance purposes.
