Identifiers Testbed Activities

These wiki pages will be used to chronicle the identifiers test bed activities of the Data Stewardship cluster

Goals and Objectives (feel free to update/modify/redirect if need be)

Unique and lasting data identifiers are needed for a wide range of purposes and at various scales from data sets, to collections of data sets, to individual files or data objects. Likewise, a large variety of identification schemes have been developed, each of which satisfies a subset of the overall needs and is most appropriately applied at various scales.

The ESIP preservation and stewardship cluster has recognized that as a consequence data centers will need to support multiple identification schemes and different identifiers at different scales. The purpose of this testbed activity is to test and demonstrate the applicability of selected schemes with a wide variety of earth science data types with the ultimate goal of recommending a suite for use by ESIP federation members...
