Persistent Identifiers: What if? » 2/18 -- What if: Global uniqueness

This Learning object deals with Persistent identifiers (PIDs).
It is divided into 17 sub-units each of which consists of two parts: a dialogue between two owlets (on the left of the screen) introducing PIDs, and a video (on the right of the screen) representing the concepts.
The idea was to use the famous painting by Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, as a metaphor. Each PID functional requirement is represented by a visual metaphor associated with a musical metaphor: uniqueness, persistency, resolvability, reliability, authoritativeness, flexibility, interoperability and cost effectiveness.
