Biography:
Yvette Wharton is the eResearch Solutions Lead at the Centre for eResearch, University of Auckland, currently working on the Research Data Management Programme as Technical Lead. She has experience in University research, teaching and IT environments and is passionate about using her broad knowledge to facilitate researchers to achieve their aspirations.
Siobhann McCafferty is a Project Manager at the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC). Siobhann coordinates projects in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Indigenous Data Research Data Commons and is part of the ARDC PIDs Services team where she is currently working on the National PIDs Strategy. She is also the facilitator of the Identifiers for Instruments Australasia Community of Practice (i4iOZ) and advises on RAiD and related PID plumbing issues. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2491-0995
Katie Hannan is a Research Data Specialist at CSIRO in Adelaide, working with Data Management Systems. She is passionate about storytelling, linking people with information and helping to facilitate learning experiences. Her research interests are in the areas of human computer interaction, digital legacy, and information society. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5689-4133
Jens Klump is a Research Scientist at CSIRO in Perth, working with data in exploration for mineral resources. His work covers the entire chain of data logistics, from data capture in the field to analysis and publication. He has many years of experience implementing persistent identifier systems in the research ecosystem. https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5911-6022
Abstract:
Increasingly institutions and researchers are looking to Persistent Identifiers to link instruments, calibrations, data and methods. This is an emerging area with standards still in development and community discussion is essential to adopting and spreading best practices.
This session will facilitate an open discussion based on a series of key questions to collect experiences and, together, explore possible opportunities, benefits and issues such as:
– What PIDs are used across the instrument ecosystem? Why were they chosen?
– What do these linkages facilitate? (workflows, FAIR, research integrity, use of instrument)
– What technologies are being considered (PID/Research Graph, RO-Crate, 5s-Crate)
– How do people track research linked to instruments?
– How are people facilitating data discoverability and the use of instruments?
– PID Maturity Models and frameworks for infrastructure
This session is aimed at providers of research infrastructure services and data management and planning support services across the research sector, including researchers, research data stewards, research support staff, institutional administrators, enterprise architects, eResearch directors, and academic engagement or research librarians.
