What’s the problem?
Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are a long-lasting reference to a
resource
3
PIDs to the rescue!

4
Minting PIDs requires some metadata
5
PID systems require technical, governance, community
…...and there are lots of PID systems out there!
6
Why does the ARDC care about PIDs? Why should you?
7
Dr Brown is upset that the data is not linked from the article
8
Data repository managers to the rescue!
9
The Scholix framework facilitates article-data linking
Institutional Data Repository record:
Dataset titleCreatorsDateDOI or other PID (for the data)Related DOI (for the article)Researchers’ ORCIDs
Scholix link exchange package(Data DOI or other PID & article DOI)Researchers’ ORCIDs
Publisher queries Scholix hubs
Publisher articles database - Displays article with link to dataset held in repository
Scholix Hubs
10
Dr Red is upset: she can’t find out if the data she collected has been cited, tweeted, blogged etc
11
Administrator Gold is upset: she wants to know the impact her institution’s research is having
12
Enter Research (PID) Graph
What PID graph does:
● Exposes open links (connections and relationships) between
research objects, outputs, people
● Exposes activity that occurs around research objects e.g.
data citations, social media mentions
Benefits for research stakeholders:
● Enhances discovery of research
● Facilitates tracking the impact of research
13
Power of PID graph for research

Research (PID) graph view of a dataset context from Research Data Australia:
“Pharmaceutical Industry funded events for Australian Health Professionals”

Nature cares about Research (PID) Graph!

● Build systems that can assign and capture PIDs for research
objects, outputs, people
● Integrate PID minting and capturing into research workflows
● Contribute article-data links held in your repository/systems
to Scholix via Research Data Australia
● Promote PIDs to researchers - but only when they need to
know
16
What does this mean for you?
17
But which PIDs? There are so many...

Long tail of PIDs
32
That’s confusing! Can I have it again please?
● Build systems that can assign and capture PIDs for research

● Contribute article-data links from your repository/systems to

Today’s key take home message
If you liked it then you should have put a PID on it!
