The Research Activity Identifier (RAiD): System architecture, metadata schema, workflows, and examples
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This poster provides a technical overview with examples of the Research Activity Identifier (RAiD). RAiD is a persistent identifier for research projects, which links a project s organisations, people, inputs and outputs and provides other key information about a research project. It is governed by ISO 23527:2022, and features prominently in the Australian National PID Strategy. RAiDs reduce the administrative burden of research project management, facilitate reporting of research outputs and impacts, and make research more transparent by exposing a project s make-up and how it changes over time. Over the past two years, RAiD has been rebuilt and is now in production, both in Australia and overseas. This poster will present a technical overview of RAiD with examples, including system architecture diagrams with an explanation of key design decisions, API and web application information, the metadata schema with controlled vocabularies (available via Research Vocabularies Australia), workflow diagrams for establishing a RAiD service at an organisation and creating or editing RAiDs, and example RAiDs, including project metadata and common reports that can be produced from it.
