How to develop a holistic PID management service? Until now, the management and resolving of PIDs has been spread out over different services and organization in Finland. This modus operandi is inefficient and does not enable visibility to whether material has several identifiers, and how they are possibly resolved. AT the same time the use of identifiers is increasing. We present a plan of a service for:
- centralised PID creation and management
- harmonising pid syntax and use of a checksum
- centralized resolution management
- reliable and sustainable identifier interlinkage
- improved material life cycle and provenance management
- decreasing risk of reputation loss for the organization due to non-reliable identifiers
- quality assurance over changes in organization or technical services
- provide PIDs for external partners
- The use of the PID management service will be exemplified through cases (e.g. Finnish Research Information Hub ).
