Result description
The EOSC PID Meta Resolver (PIDMR) is a generalized resolver to map items into records and integrate them in a global network (e.g. Global Handle). It will also develop (1) a new user interface that supports easy integration and search, and (2) the metadata of different PID systems (i.e. the “Kernel Information Profiles”) to query metadata information of a PID without having to resolve it.
Problem addressed
The increasing use of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) to reference all types of research results is a major step forward in meeting future requirements for the FAIRness of (research) data. However, this brings new challenges to process the PIDs, and to integrate them in research activities. The biggest difficulty is the multitude of systems used to create and maintain PIDs. The challenge is to know which system is responsible for the resolution process and which provides the PID metadata. The PIDMR will tackle this problem to simplify PID resolution through a uniform interface.
Who can use the result
All EOSC Users can use the service to resolve PIDs. Only EOSC Users logged in using the EOSC AAI can be assigned a role to create and update provider information.Timeline
