Description

The presentation (in German) embraces the use of the Integrated Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei, GND) in science. It refers to the advantages of using controlled vocabulary in search procedures to improve retrieval. It explains how the researcher can improve the quality of their data linking it to GND entities and finally, how the researcher can contribute to the GND by editing authority files in a defined editing process.

The presentation was held as part of the DFG-funded project PID Network Deutschland workshop series, namely https://www.pid-network.de/neuigkeiten/blog/online-seminar-pids-fuer-forschungsdaten

On the project PID Network Germany

Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are central to FAIR research data management and have become an essential component of applications and services. Also, PID-related metadata are central to the FAIRness of research resources and support their reusability and the reproducibility of research. However, with the growing importance of PIDs in everyday research and more and more in cultural contexts, the requirements for their efficient usability are also increasing. At the same time, users are confronted with a great variety of very different PID systems and implementation possibilities.

The DFG-funded project “PID Network Germany” therefore aims to establish a network of stakeholders around the persistent identification of people, organisations, and resources in the field of digital communication in science and culture, which promotes the dissemination and connection of PID systems in Germany. The focus is also on identifying needs and optimization potential for existing PID systems and embedding them in international knowledge graphs. The project findings should lead to recommendations to create a national PID roadmap for Germany.

The PID Network Germany complements the endeavor of “PID4NFDI” in particular on the policy level and both projects agreed to closely collaborate. PID4NFDI is a proposal for the Initialization Phase of Base4NFDI, which is currently under review for funding. The central objective of PID4NFDI is to consolidate and evolve the PID service landscape within NFDI at all levels: technical, organisational, methodological, and communication.
