PID Competence Center

As a PID Competence Center, we offer a comprehensive range of services and advice on persistent identifiers (PID) and their metadata to support the sustainable findability, usability and networking of scientific resources and the people and institutions associated with them.

 

Projects

We are involved in the following projects and working groups.

Participations

  • Support of the NFDI consortium with TIB participation, e.g. NFDI4Ing, NFDI4Chem, NFDI4Culture
  • Participation EOSC Task Force “PID Policy Implementation”
  • Participation KE Task Force “PID Risks & Trust”

Working Groups

  • DataCite Metadata Working Group - further development of the DataCite metadata schema, incorporating feedback from members of the TIB DOI Consortium.
  • ROR Community Advisory Group - Advisory group for the ROR project to provide practical experience and requirements.
  • NFDI4Ing Metadata Working Group - Development of a metadata standard for the engineering sciences.
  • PID Working Group in NFDI section Common Infrastructures

Research activities

The services offered and research are integrated at the TIB. The TIB coordinates several research projects dedicated to the further development of PIDs and is involved in others:

Current Projects:

  • PID Network (DFG, starting in 2023) to promote a network for Persistent Identifiers in Germany
  • PID4NFDI (NFDI, starting in 2024) to support FAIR research data management in NFDI

Completed Projects:

  • ConfIDent 1 (DFG, 2019-2023) for the establishment of PIDs for scientific events.
  • OPTIMETA (BMBF, 2020-2023) for the further development of open citation metadata and spatio-temporal metadata.
  • ORCID DE 2 (DFG, 2020-2022) for the further dissemination of ORCID in Germany and the networking of scientific institutions as an ORCID community.
  • TAPIR (BMBF, 2020-2022) for the development of semi-automated research reporting on PIDs.
  • AtMoDat (BMBF, 2019-2022)  for the branding of DOIs and the discipline-specific optimisation of metadata for meteorology and climate research.

 

Publications

The following publications on PIDs were published from the PID Competence Centre.
