University College Cork

Co-Sponsors
University College Cork

Focus
The persistent identification of electronic resources can play a vital role in
enabling long-term access and re-use and can positively impact on an object's
authenticity. This seminar aims to provide an overview of current activity in
the field of persistent identifiers and an understanding of the various
persistent identification strategies being used and developed.
Individual experiences with persistent identifiers will be explored through
presentations from the library community, the higher and further education
community, the scientific community and the publishing community. The seminar
will also provide an update from the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI)
working group on persistent identifiers.

Who will benefit from attending?
The seminar will bring together a wide range of participants from a variety of
sectors from all over Europe. This training seminar will benefit anyone who
creates or manages access to digital resources - including librarians,
archivists, scientists, publishers and staff from higher and further education
and government institutions.
