Mission

Enable the implementation of academic resource identifiers.

Problem: in academia there is a need to be able to identify resources used by the community such as culture collections, instruments, projects and work packages, collaborative groups, datasets etc. Current systems of resource identification are difficult to establish and DIDs have the potential to allow more widespread uptake and use of permanent identifiers.

...

• determine if the tools best meet their needs
• provide knowledge that will assist them in developing funding justifications and forming community buy-in
• help them understand and develop appropriate governance structures
• and identify technological solutions and determine lifecycle costs

Deliverables

A series of whitepapers and implementation plans which may include the following:

1. Description of current state of the art models e.g. DOI, ORCiD, Genbank accession numbers etc.
2. Description of DID technologies as they apply to resource identification
3. Descriptions of potential use cases
4. Pros/Cons description of DID solutions
5. Examples of ecosystem requirements to help organizations form their own
6. Examples of governance structures for organizations that will enable the resource identifiers
7. A workflow of how an organization would build this ecosystem and what a potential ecosystem end would look like
8. Technical architectures with guidance on how to determine costs
