Towards a National Collection: Persistent Identifiers as IRO Infrastructure – Project Launch Webinar

Abstract

• The project will bring together best practices in the use of PIDs in the UK heritage sector, with a focus on those that are Independent Research Organisations. Building on existing work and projects, we will share expertise and provide recommendations on the approach to PIDs for colleagues across the UK heritage sector. Through a mixture of workshops, desk research and case studies, the project will answer questions such as 'What are the gaps in the existing PID landscape for heritage collections, buildings and environments?' and 'What should a PID infrastructure, strategy and governance framework look like for a unified national collection?'. This webinar is being run to introduce the community to our project and find out what you are interested in hearing more about as the project evolves.
