Abstract: Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) are elementary ingredients in nowadays and future research data management processes. Looking at various data life cycles, identifiers help to achieve certain goals in a very efficient way, supporting steps to find, relate, integrate and publish data. Various identifier systems have been developed for this purpose, which are provided by various providers. This created the challenge of the complex and different methods of using the identifiers. Depending on the system, an identifier can, for example, point to a landing page or directly to a digital object. The PID Metaresolver unifies the use of PIDs from different providers and thus supports and simplifies the use of the referenced object. It is a service for resolving PIDs from various providers, validating the PID provider for a given PID and integrating additional providers. With the PID Metaresolver, workflows and analyses of research data can be extended to a larger list of providers. We present the design and implementation of the PID Metaresolver service and give an insight into the many possible uses.
