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.
