Many interesting contributions at the #PIDfest conference in #Prague are now published in the Czech National Library of Technology's repository.

There were many exciting contributions and I can highly recommend them.

It Takes More Than a Village: A National Network of Bottom up PID Strategies in Germany

There are individual efforts to develop national persistent identifier (PID) strategies involving numerous stakeholders and infrastructures. The planned panel discussion wants to provide insights into the diversity of developments in Germany. We will present the bottom-up strategies for open identification systems from the perspective of the projects PID Network Germany and PID4NFDI as well as the national DOI and ORCID consortia.
