    • Persistent Identifiers
  • Result description

    RAiD is a new Persistent Identifier (PID) developed by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) to mint persistent, unique and resolvable information for research projects. RAiD enables users and services to manage information about project-related participants, services, and outcomes. RAiD also collects related identifies (of contributors, organisations, inputs, outputs, etc.), plus descriptive information about the project (title, description, subject, etc.), and stores them in an associated metadata record. It has been recently certified by ISO.

    Problem addressed

    RAiD connects existing persistent identifiers for researchers, institutions, outputs and tools with key project information to create a timeline of research projects.

    Who can use the result

    Researchers, institutions, service managers and funding agencies.
