PID Information Types will leverage Interoperability between PID systems
Metadata together with PIDs becomes the most important driver for
research data reuse and sharing on one hand and for parametrization of
data
management workflows on the other hand. Whereus findability is improved
by a rich and deeply structured metadata set, parametrization of
worklows especially with many data sets needs simpler and much faster
accessible metadata for efficiency reasons. Furthermore communities have
often their own demands on valuable metadata from the scientific point
of view as well as for instance for access regulation on recent
generated research data. This often does not fit into predefined schemas
and rises the need for community specific policies. All this can be
covered by utilizing the database behind the Handle PID system to
maintain so called PID information types (PIT), and aggregate them into
community specific lists of mandatory and optional properties. The
proposed talk will describe, how such PID Information Types can be
defined in data type registries together with automatically generated
schemas and how PIDs can be enriched with such type instances, and
eventually how this can substantially improve the interoperability and
richness of metadata between PID systems as well as the trustworthyness
in the data policies of research data repositories.
