Joint webinar FREYA and OpenAIRE: New developments in the field of Persistent Identifiers

Thursday, 10 January 2019

When: On January 10, 2019 at 10:00 CET

After all the festivities at the end of the year where family and friends connect, OpenAIRE together with FREYA will start off the new year with a webinar on digital connections: the Persistent Identifiers. The Science Europe Data Glossary defines the term Persistent Identifier (PID) as “a long-lasting reference to a digital object — a single file or set of files”. As such, the importance of PIDs to build stable connections between research entities such as grants, projects, articles, or funders is recognized and addressed by several initiatives and projects.   

FREYA is a 3-year project funded by the European Commission, aiming to extend the infrastructure for persistent identifiers (PIDs) as a core component of open research, in the EU and globally. FREYA will improve discovery, navigation, retrieval, and access to research resources. In so doing, FREYA has carried out a survey of the current PID landscape, collected a vast amount of user stories in order to identify needs of the community to expand existing and establish new PID services, and is currently working on building a PID Graph.  

In the webinar, Ketil Koop-Jakobsen will talk about a report on requirements for new PID Services. To identify demands and requirements for emerging PIDs, FREYA collected user stories from their respective communities and networks. More than 70 user stories were compiled, each identifying a specific PID demand from the community. Koop-Jakobsen will introduce some of these stories and explain their influence on the development of new and emerging PID types. Amir Aryani, moreover, will shed light on FREYA’s work on the PID Graph, talking about the discussion around the concept of the PID Graph itself and how FREYA partners are contributing to the actual setup of such a Graph.   

And Iryna Kuchma will talk how OpenAIRE is using PIDs for discovery, enrichment, and linking of research results. 

OpenAIRE Funder Monitoring Dashboard

Monday, 22 October 2018

OpenAIRE has created Open Science monitoring and implementation services for the European Commission and European Research Council in the FP7 and Horizon2020 funding streams. OpenAIRE produces a 360-degree picture of the impact of research funding, whether at the level of programme funding stream or even individual projects. So, now, in real-time, funders can monitor their investment making an impact through the OpenAIRE Funder Monitoring Dashboard which provides funders with tools for a transparent view and assessment of their investments.

FAIR Data in Trustworthy Data Repositories Webinar

Monday, 12 December 2016

In 2014 the FAIR Guiding Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) were formulated. The well-chosen FAIR acronym is highly attractive: it is one of these ideas that almost automatically get stuck in your mind once you have heard it. In a relatively short term, the FAIR data principles have been adopted by many stakeholder groups, including research funders.
