FAIR Facilities and Instruments Workshop #1 Report: Exploring Persistent Identifier Needs, Barriers and Incentives

The FAIR Principles were published in 2016 to promote data that result from scholarly research being Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). These principles were intended to enhance the reusability of scholarly data holdings, and enable data to be more usable and accessible by both humans and machines. The FAIR Facilities and Instruments RCN hosted its first in-person workshop at the University of Colorado Boulder in Boulder, CO on September 13-15, 2023. Thirty individuals from academic institutions, national laboratories, nonprofit organizations, and private industry participated in a broad set of discussions focused on the assignment of persistent identifiers (PIDs) to research facilities and instrumentation. The workshop gathered input from research facilities and instrumentation providers, as well as experts on PID systems, to discuss and identify barriers, needs, and opportunities with peers and technical experts.
