PID4NFDI Community workshop on IGSN Use Cases | PID4NFDI

PID4NFDI invited you to an online IGSN Community Workshop on June 4, 2026 (10:00–13:00 CEST), to share use cases and discuss the usage of PIDs for physical objects together.

Report on Metadata & PID Workflows: Integration of Persistent Identifiers into ELN and DMP Tools for NFDI

This report documents the PID Coordination Hub's coordinated effort to integrate persistent identifiers (PIDs) into the research data lifecycle through data management plans (DMPs) and electronic lab notebooks (ELNs). During 2025, the endeavor included establishing two focus groups. Each group held three virtual meetings from spring through summer, culminating in a joint in-person workshop in Berlin in September 2025. The report summarizes findings on metadata workflows, PID integration pathways

Entering the World of Linked Data | PID4NFDI

This post introduces DataCite’s linked data namespace and explains, in beginner-friendly terms, how stable identifiers, machine-readable vocabularies, and explicit relationships make metadata easier to understand, connect, and reuse across systems.

Identification of core elements for a machine-actionable Data Management Plan metadata schema in the NFDI

From 28 to 30 October 2024, ZB MED Information Centre for Life Sciences organized a hackathon in Cologne within the scope of NFDI4DataScience with the purpose of identifying core elements for a machine-actionable Data Managemnt Plan (maDMP) across the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). We used as starting/reference point the maDMP application profile from the Research Data Alliance DMP Commons Working Group. Here we report on the activities and findings. The dataset correspondi

Bridging Gaps in PID Adoption: PID4NFDI's Coordination Hub

Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) are vital for FAIR data, yet their implementation often faces significant technical and organizational hurdles. The PID4NFDI project addresses these gaps through its PID Coordination Hub, which serves as a central service and consultation point for the German research landscape. This poster outlines the importance of PIDs across the Research Data Lifecycle and demonstrates how the Hub supports stakeholders in adopting sustainable PID strategies.

Metadata & PID Workflows: Joint Workshop for ELN and DMP Tools

Digital research tools like Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) and Data Management Planning (DMP) systems are critical for early-stage metadata capture and documenting research processes. These tools increasingly support Persistent Identifier (PID) workflows, either by referencing existing identifiers or enabling PID registration for core research entities like datasets, samples, instruments, methods, and projects. Capturing rich metadata at the earliest stages of research can: Enhance metadata...

PIDs für wissenschaftliche Veranstaltungen

PIDs für wissenschaftliche Veranstaltungen: Mehr Sichtbarkeit & Nachhaltigkeit Dieser Workshop beleuchtet den Einsatz von Persistente Identifikatoren (PIDs) für akademische Veranstaltungen wie Konferenzen und Workshops. PIDs ermöglichen eine zuverlässige und dauerhafte Identifizierung, was zu besserer Auffindbarkeit, Vernetzung und Langzeitarchivierung von Veranstaltungsdaten beiträgt. Im Workshop: Diskutieren wir die Vorteile von PIDs für verschiedene Stakeholder (Forschende, Veranstalter,...
