Survey on use of persistent identifiers in cultural heritage collections

[Jegelewicz]

From https://discourse.gbif.org/t/survey-on-use-of-persistent-identifiers-pids-in-collections/3063

As part of the UK Towards a National Collection program the Heritage PID project (of which I am a part) is running a survey on the use of persistent identifiers in cultural heritage collections. Natural history collections are considered part of our cultural heritage, so this survey may be of interest to members of the GBIF community who are exploring assigning persistent identifiers (PIDs) to specimens in their collection.

The survey 5 can be anonymous and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, depending on your responses. The survey will remain open until 1 November 2021.

@dustymc maybe we could fill this out as a group during office hours if we have time?

I'd like to be involved in this, as I am looking into making drastic changes in how we assign IDs in DGR.

What is considered a "persistent identifier"? Is this something cultural collections should be involved in?

[Jegelewicz]

@AJLinn YES - I think this is going to make it's way through all kinds of collections as we start to aggregate information.

Perhaps this is a good place to start - https://journal.code4lib.org/articles/13427

See also https://handbook.arctosdb.org/how_to/cite-specimens.html and maybe/eventually the last little blurb on https://github.com/ArctosDB/arctos/issues/3630#issuecomment-919271854 will lead to the option of making eg http://test.arctos.database.museum/guid/UAM:EH:UA96-011-0007/PID23840227 persistent.
