PIDS in Dublin Core

This initiative seeks to develop a DCMI recommendation on how to express Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) in XML-based metadata application profiles which use properties from DCMI Metadata Terms.

This recommendation should have wide applicability. It is required in particular by several organisations working in the general domain of scholarly communications, and with open-access repository systems in particular. This work will, therefore, benefit from the focus provided by some closely related 'real world' user-stories.

This project will:

1. Solicit 'real-world' user-stories and use-cases from interested parties, using the 'issues' feature in this repository.
2. Develop some candidate approaches to expressing PIDs in metadata using properties from the Dublin Core vocabularies in the context of the examples described in #1.
3. Hold a special session at the DCMI annual conference in Porto, Portugal in September 2018, where the issue will be discussed with the intention of agreeing a consensus.
4. Publish the results as a DCMI Recommendation.
5. Develop algorithms/tools for converting metadata based on the XML schema into RDF for the purposes of publication as Linked Data.
