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.
Output: to create a package to enable academic communities to deliver their own resource identifiers. An example would be where a community of researchers have established a series of microbiome libraries. They would like to establish and govern a set of resource identifiers that would enable these samples to be traced, cited, and permanently identified.
The package should help academic communities:
A series of whitepapers and implementation plans which may include the following:
Work Packages | Investigation | Notes |
---|---|---|
001 | Set initial deliverables | |
002 | ||
003 | ||
Zoom Meeting & Password to be distributed to Task Force participants prior to meeting via mail list.
