What's in a Name? Identifiers for Institutions, Public Identities, and Researchers

Webinar

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.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is for publishers and librarians who want to know more about the impact identifiers will have on the supply chain, the delivery and use of content, and on services by looking at three projects 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.
