Tuesday afternoon The PID landscape

The projects FAIRCORE4EOSC, FAIR-IMPACT and RAISE and the EOSC-A Task Force Co-Chairs of PID Policy and Implementation guide you through the PID landscape in EOSC.

The session integrates the supply and demand side of PID services by reviewing characteristics, features and attributes of PID services and providing workflows, use cases and services where end users require PIDs. The session will assess the different PID systems through an interactive demonstrator session (RAID, RAI ID, MA DMPs, SWH_ID and B2INST) that are included in the EOSC environment and cover several PID integrating services (PID Graph & PID Meta Resolver). The session also touches on two emerging initiatives, “FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs)” and “decentralized PID systems”.

Objectives

Sharing efforts on PID development by projects and EOSC-A Task Forces.
Providing a systematic overview of the landscape.

Outcomes

View of the state of the art currently and understanding of current and future developments.
The session enables participants to identify the differences and similarities between PID services in the EOSC Landscape, their dependencies and usage.

Wednesday morning Addressing (future) challenges

The Task Force PID Policy and projects FAIRCORE4EOSC and FAIR-IMPACT dive deeper into the challenges faced in PID development.

In this session important lessons learned and challenges still to face discovered are shared by the Task Force co-chairs in an open discussion with the participants. The review and quality assurance mechanisms such as policies, best practices, governance, standards and specifications, systems, tools and services, vocabularies and registries will be examined. The Compliance Assessment Toolkit will be introduced to help measure compliance with the EOSC PID policy and disseminate best practices and guidelines to the community.

Objectives

Providing an analysis of the challenges faced in PID development as a continuation on the session mapping the current landscape.

Wednesday afternoon EOSC PID Policy Compliance

The session on PID Policy Compliance takes a look at the EOSC PID Policy and its criteria, measures and tests.

The in-depth working session will review the 35 criteria in the policy and cover a number of best practices not yet included in the policy. The session will go into detail on the metrics, how compliance is measured and what guidance is available for self-assessment. During the session participants get to work on their own use cases in the framework of self-assessment and policy compliance. The concepts of FAIR Digital Objects (FDO) and decentralized PID systems will also be covered. The session will be co-hosted by the Task Force PID Policy and Implementation and the FAIR-IMPACT project.

Objectives

Strengthening the knowledge and usability of the EOSC PID Policy and the Compliance Assessment toolkit.
Opening the discussion on how the policy can be adapted to current and future development.

Outcomes

Participants are familiar with the PID services and can implement that knowledge in the development of new PID services.
Participants are able to perform self-assessment.
