Identifiers for Instruments Webinar
Learn all about why persistent identifiers (PIDs) for instruments benefit your research.
This 2019 webinar is a great source of information on how identifiers are being created and assigned for instruments in Australia. It presents a use case by the National Imaging Facility and speaks to other experts in the area.
Identifiers for instruments
Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) are long-lasting references to a digital resource and have many benefits. PIDs for instruments:
- enable unambiguous reference to digital representations of instruments
- generate metrics that quantify the use of instruments and the rationale for future funding
- link data to the instruments that generated them (provenance) to help with published papers and data tracking and citation
- aid equipment logistics and mission planning
- improve the discoverability and visibility of instruments and their data, published on the web.
