  23. What must bestoredpersistently? Minimal metadata (key-metadata) static • Checksum • PID creation time stamp • Graph structure (links) • Collectionmembership dynamic

  24. Levels ofpreservation Minimal metadata 10876/abc123 Primary levelofpreservation Secondarylevelofpreservation 101010101010101

  25. PIDs are a topicfor international collaboration 10876/A 10876/collection1 10876/B 10876/B 10876/B 10876/B 10876/A 10876/B 10876/C • Relation types must be standardized. • Research Data Alliance • WG ‘PID Information Types’ • WG ‘Type Registry’ • collections?

  26. Usage scenario: Provenance as a DAG Data object PID Link „was derivedfrom“ t cdo

  27. Software How do weactuallyuse PIDs?

  28. I am biased towards the Handle System • Fortechnicalreasons • key-metadataisuniquefeaturethatisrequiredfor PID graphs • Forpracticalreasons – examples: • ARKs and URNs lack wideadoptionandsupport • PURL maintenanceis not clear • LSIDs in olderliteratureare not persistent • Handle System has an operational perspective

  29. Whatisthe Handle System? • Developedby CNRI • Corporation for National Research Initiatives • Registered trademark • Fee forregisteringnewprefixes (e.g. 10876) • Customers e.g. • US military • International DOI Foundation

  30. Howdoesthe Handle System work? 10876/100 100 URL: www.dkrz.de Checksum: ... 10876 Prefix DB 1234 1001 Central resolutionservice
