Embedding Persistent Identifiers into Organizational Information and Data Services at the National Center for Atmospheric Research

Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are central to the vision of open science described in the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR) principles. The assignment of PIDs to scholarly resources began in the 1990s and has significantly expanded in recent decades, as open science has taken on greater visibility within scholarly research institutions. PIDs are now assigned to publications, data sets, software, laboratory materials, physical samples, people, organizations, and research facilities and instruments. These identifiers have become a consistent and expected component of scholarly information systems. This presentation discusses lessons learned in embedding PIDs within organizational information and data systems and services within the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and its management organization the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). The presenters discuss over 10 years of efforts, including ongoing projects, to use PIDs to facilitate discovery, citation, and linking of scholarly resources. These projects include leveraging PIDs to link related resources across repositories, to trace the research impacts and products of specific data collections, people, and research infrastructures, and to expand the visibility of research facilities.
