Description: This BoF is not intended to form a working group at this session. The discussion will focus on how to achieve interoperability among persistent identifiers for data sets made available on the Internet. The initial use case of interest is scientific data sets produced by different research teams; other use cases might include media developed by different sources and combined into a common collection. Access policies based on identifiers, discovery, association of meta-data, and data integrity are expected to be later topics, but these will likely be covered in follow-on mailing list discussion. The BoF will review existing methods such as DOI, URN, PURL, and then discuss core requirements.
