Cooking with DOIs

Open Conference Proceedings, vol. 5

Abstract

In the global biodiversity crisis, robust data management is growing increasingly important in the sector. The Digital Specimen is a response to this need, facilitating important connections between infrastructures. The FAIR Digital Object (FDO) paradigm offers a further machine-actionable solution to data management. One FDO component is assigning of unique, persistent identifiers to the object, and enriching these identifiers with a machine-readable “FDO Record” to further describe the referent. This conference presentation discussed Digital Specimens as FDOs, and how assigning persistent identifiers with FDO records was achieved through a partnership between DiSSCo and DataCite.
