About the Webinar
Since NISO held its Digital
Identifiers Roundtable in March 2006, there haves been a great deal of
developments in this area. The findings from that meeting- that information
exchange between systems requires identifiers that are based on public
standards, both for shared used of the identifiers and to prevent collisions
between identifiers that are developed in different contexts, and that
long-term sustainability of identifiers requires community and institutional
support backed by viable business models-still hold. Without broad consensus
on the properties, use, and application of identifiers, however, identifiers
will not be able to live up to the promise that they hold forth to ease and
improve information exchange for publishers, content providers, and libraries
alike.
During this webinar, you will hear about three different identifier
projects and learn how these are being developed and implemented to identify
institutions, researchers, and public identities to make for more effective
information exchange and use. The webinar will provide attendees with ample
opportunity for questions during the event and will follow posting the
questions asked during the event and their answers on this website following
the webinar.
