PIDs in Earth Science:

Authors have uploaded data to

PANGAEA, submitted article for

publication to Marine Geology journal

Data visualization tool connects

articles and data – pulling in data

from PANGAEA for this article and

showing to the reader

• Chemical compound names with

PubChem CID codes are provided

by the authors

• Chemical structure image

• A short summary overview for each

compound

• Links to the PubChem Compound

Database

• >100 participating journals

• Implementation of Force11 Data Citation Principles

• Systematic way to link articles and data using persistent IDs

• Mechanism to give credit & attribution for data

• Announcement November 30: implemented in production workflow

PIDs for Data and Software Citation:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969713006657

Data set cited in

reference list – treated

on similar footing with

articles

3. Unique Identification: A software citation should include a method for identification

that is machine actionable, globally unique, interoperable, and recognized by at least a

community of the corresponding domain experts, and preferably by general public

researchers.

4. Persistence: Unique identifiers and metadata describing the software and its

disposition should persist – even beyond the lifespan of the software they describe.

• ICSU-WDS/RDA Publishing Data Service Working group for connecting papers,

• Cross-stakeholder – with input from CrossRef, DataCite, OpenAIRE, Europe

PubMed Central, ANDS, PANGAEA, Thomson Reuters, Elsevier, and others

• Proposed long-term architecture and interoperability framework: www.scholix.org

• Operational prototype at http://dliservice.research-infrastructures.eu/#/api

(including 1.4 Million links from various sources)

Linked Data Networks for PIDs:

| 12Open Access

We are adding PIDs for Funding

information, Licensing, Versioning

In Summary: PIDs Are The Backbone of Publishing:

Every paper we publish has a DOI (= PID).

ORCID enables every researcher

to have a PID

Every dataset we publish has a

DOI (= PID)

Knowledge components are identified

through DOIs, e.g.:

• Chemicals

• Physical Samples

• Resource Identifiers

• Organisms

• Materials

We are helping to create Open Linked Data networks of PIDs

BUT: Many issues to Resolve!

• Persistence: for how long? Who maintains? What if CrossRef goes out of business?

• Identifier: Already hard to define: what is ‘a piece’ of data? ‘A piece’ of software? Versioning, provenance, granularity, reuse?

• If these things concern you: join the PID-Party! http://pidapalooza.org/
