Beyond PIDs – addressing challenges in metadata completeness

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: As the understanding of PIDs has grown – the community – institutions, funders, policy-makers – are looking beyond identifying objects, to realise the systemic value of a connected PID ecosystem. The lion share of the value of DOIs, ORCIDs, ROR IDs, etc lies in the relationship metadata illuminating how the identified objects relate to each other. The possibilities to make connections between entities across the system, especially where information about the relationships is included and open, promise opportunities for greater insights, evaluation and so - more strategic decisions and better informed policy. In this session, speakers have reported on recent developments with regards to improving metadata capture and availability across the scholarly ecosystem, and open the floor for participants' input on opportunities to further boost the coverage of open metadata for research objects.
