Concepts for metadata interoperability, harmonization and technical integration of PID infrastructure

This report presents a conceptual framework developed by the PID4NFDI to advance metadata interoperability, harmonization, and technical integration of Persistent Identifier (PID) infrastructures in the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). Building upon the groundwork laid during the initialization phase and guided by the vision outlined in the integration phase proposal. Our approach integrates insights from community surveys, interviews with use case partners, and extensive engagement with NFDI consortia members.

Use Case Analysis: KonsortSWD Persistent Identifier Registration Service for Dataset Elements

This report is part of the deliverables produced by PID4NFDI, a core service for persistent identifiers developed within the German National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur – NFDI). Specifically, this report addresses the use-case analysis outlined in work packages 1 and 2 of the PID4NFDI initialization phase. The purpose of this report is to showcase PID integration in a new PID service that is being developed within KonsortSWD task area 5, measure 1. This service aims to reference elements below the dataset, study, or publication level via PID, enhancing FAIRness of low-granular dataset elements and fulfilling requirements such as handling a large number of PIDs.

Use Case Analysis: PID Adoption in the Text+ Consortium using the Example of SUB Göttingen

This report is part of the deliverables produced by PID4NFDI, a core service for persistent identifiers developed within the German National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur – NFDI). Specifically, this report addresses the use-case analysis outlined in work packages 1 and 2 of the PID4NFDI initialization phase. The purpose of this report is to showcase PID integration within the Text+ consortium using the example of the SUB Göttingen. The report focuses on two well-integratied and long-running repositories (the DARIAH-DE Repository and the TextGrid Repository) for text-based research data from the humanities. We give details on different types of integrated PIDs, metadata quality handling, interaction with major infrastructures such as DARIAH and CLARIN, and describe new requirements and developments such as improved user input interfaces.

DataCite StrainInfo Metadata Analysis

This report is part of the deliverables produced by PID4NFDI, a core service for persistent identifiers developed within the German National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur – NFDI). The initiative is funded through Base4NFDI, with financial support provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) under grant number 521466146. Specifically, this report addresses the use-case analysis outlined in work packages 1 and 2 of the PID4NFDI initialization phase. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the metadata quality and completeness for the StrainInfo service. StrainInfo, operated by the Leibniz Institute DSMZ – German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH, is an integral part of the NFDI4Microbiota consortium. This analysis, conducted by DataCite, highlights the current state of metadata in StrainInfo, offering insights into its alignment with persistent identifier and metadata best practices.

DataCite FAIRagro Metadata Analysis

This report is part of the deliverables produced by PID4NFDI, a core service for persistent identifiers developed within the German National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur – NFDI). The initiative is funded through Base4NFDI, with financial support provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) under grant number 521466146. Specifically, this report addresses the use-case analysis outlined in work packages 1 and 2 of the PID4NFDI initialization phase. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the metadata quality and completeness of the FAIRAgro consortium. This analysis, conducted by DataCite, highlights the current state of metadata, offering insights into its alignment with persistent identifier and metadata best practices.
