Persistent Identifiers for Projects Community Dialogue Workshop

Local Contexts team members will join an upcoming community dialogue session hosted by DataCite in partnership with Metadata Game Changers. 

This dialogue is designed to engage the broader Life Sciences and Astronomy communities in co-developing metadata enhancements supporting the development and use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for instruments and projects. Metadata creators and users are invited to join and take an active role in advancing infrastructure solutions to identify, describe, discover, and track the impact of instruments and projects across domain communities.

The Persistent Identifiers for Projects Community Dialogue will explore a variety of community developed project metadata schemas including RAiD, Local Contexts, Citizen Science, and DataCite.

Topics will include:

  • Contributors and creators
  • Spatial and temporal coverage
  • Rights, access, and traditional knowledge
  • Funder and grant metadata
  • Connections to project outputs

These dialogues represent the first phase of a larger project recently launched by DataCite. Insights, feedback, and proposed metadata enhancements gathered during these dialogues will directly inform subsequent prototype developments designed by DataCite.

The workshop will be facilitated by:

  • Erin Robinson (Metadata Game Changers)
  • Ted Habermann (Metadata Game Changers)
  • Jamaica Jones (University of Pittsburgh)
