D3.3 - Guidelines for creating a user tailored EOSC Compliant PID Policy

The main topic of this report concerns the formulation of guidelines for PID Managers regarding the creation of a “user tailored EOSC compliant PID policy.” Central to the work are the following questions. How can we determine the quality of the EOSC PID policy and - in collaboration with all stakeholders - how can we implement a user tailored PID policy? In other words, what principles, roles and criteria can we distinguish when it comes to the use of PIDs in the EOSC. To answer this question, we need to thoroughly and systematically analyze the PID landscape (of which PID Managers are a part). For this, we are working closely with the FAIRCORE4EOSC project in which a Compliance Assessment Toolkit (CAT) is being developed. The CAT will support PID Managers and others with services to encode, record, and query compliance with the policy.

In total 16 guidelines for formulating PID policies are compiled and presented in the report. On this basis, targeted support can be provided for the formulation of EOSC compliant PID policies as provided by the FAIR-IMPACT project.
