Bezeichnend, traurig oder einfach nur lustig, dass die schemaLocation des epicur-Metadatenformats (http://www.persistent-identifier.de/xepicur/version1.0/xepicur.xsd) zur Verwaltung persistenter Referenzierung (URN) jetzt ausgerechnet zu einem Online-Casino führt?

How can you link and track research outputs & activities to save time and elevate impact?

ORCID iDs and DataCite DOIs work together to make this possible! Find out how on 10 February at our webinar in honor of Love Data Week.

Today I made an #ePIC #Meme for the #PID Community.

Hope you like it. I would like to thank MS Paint (which helped me to transfer my vision into reality and did cost me less time than writing this Post + AltText) and the @TIB for the picture of the Open Science Circle I inserted in the PID.

Heute startet die 17. int. Semantic Web in Libraries Conference! Das Programm scheint spannend 🤓.

Den Vortrag @jakkbl zu ARK #PersistentIdentifier findet unser Kollege @awinkler interessant💡:
"Die Grundidee ist, dass Persistenz von Identifiern kein Selbstläufer ist, sondern die Verantwortung der bereitstellenden Institution. Das ARK-Schema hat interessante Vorzüge gegenüber weiter verbreiteten Identifiern wie #DOI oder #URNs. Besonders reizvoll ist die Möglichkeit von Suffixes."
