In recent years, PIDs have evolved quickly from being an interesting but peripheral resource on the fringes of research data management and scholarly communication to being viewed as a core enabling resource for FAIRification of data. There are an increasing number of PIDs, and existing PIDs are being developed and used more widely. However, PID infrastructure is still immature, incomplete, dispersed, and largely siloed. The critical issue of how PIDs can be incorporated into research tools, and into research workflows, has been largely ignored. This project was instituted in order to examine in detail how to incorporate PIDs into research tools, using IGSN DOIS provided by DataCite, and the RSpace digital research platform, as a case study. The core contributors were DataCite and Research Space, which develops and provides RSpace. Also instrumental in the project work were two research institutions that provided requirements, Rothamsted Research and UiT the Arctic University of Norway, and two tools ... : Part of the "Enhancing interoperability through the use of PIDs in research platforms" project https://eoscfuture-grants.eu/meet-the-grantees/data-and-metadata-interoperability-through-incorporation-pids-research ...
