The [[http://wiki.gbif.org/guidwiki/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage][first Wiki discussion]] about GUIDs in the lead up to the two TIP sponsored GUID meetings (see below) was hosted on the GBIF site.

---++ A Definition of Globally Unique Identifiers (for the purposes of this group)

A *globally unique identifier*, or *GUID*, is a system that provides mechanisms to identify and access *data objects* on the Web. The main characteristics of a GUID system are:
   * GUID systems have *identifiers*, which are character strings associated with data objects. *urn:lsid:tdwg.org:TaxonName:12345* and *doi:10.1000/182* are examples of identifiers.
   * An identifier in a GUID system is *persistent*, i.e., it is *permanently* associated with a data object. 
   * An identifier in a GUID system is *globally unique*, i.e., it identifies a single data object uniquely within the system.
   * Identifiers in a GUID system are *actionable*, i.e., the system provides mechanisms for clients to access a data object from its associated identifier. This is equivalent to saying that objects in a GUID system are *locatable*.
   * A GUID system also provides mechanisms to describe data objects, i.e., it provides *metadata* about them.

---++ Relevant Documents

   * [[LsidHttpProxyUsageRecommendations][LSID HTTP Proxy Usage Recommendations]] - a set of rules to make LSID more interoperable with standard World Wide Web and Semantic Web applications.

---++ GUID Working Groups

Two main working groups have been created during [[GUID1Workshop][GUID-1 Workshop]] (see the [[GUID1Report][report]]) to implement the initial components of the GUID infrastructure and to address outstanding issues:

   * InfrastructureWorkingGroup - will address the key issues regarding the deployment of LSID as the GUID technology for biodiversity informatics.
   * PrototypingWorkingGroup - will develop prototypes of test cases to test aspects of a GUID infrastructure.

The definition above neatly limits the *scope* of this working group. Therefore, the following topics, although intrinsically related to GUIDs, are outside their scope:
   * How to establish relationships and meaningful linking between objects.
   * Mechanisms that allow clients to query data objects on properties other than their identifiers.
   * Indexing services and data warehouses and the related mechanisms for discovery and harvest of data and metadata.

These topics should be, and already are being addressed by other research groups in our community. This group will provide guidance to them as to how to use the GUIDs effectively to improve data integration and systems interoperability. We hope that the GUID solution being devised here will help those groups achieve their goals.

A *globally unique identifier* is a *permanent identifier* used to reference and retrieve *data resources* (i.e. information) on the Web. GUIDs solve the problem of broken links (common in regular URLs) as they can be used to retrieve the associated resource regardless of changes in its location. GUIDs also provide a fundamental infrastructure to improve systems interoperability.

A *globally unique identifier* is a *permanent identifier* used to identify, reference and retrieve *data resources* (i.e. information) on the Web. GUIDs solve the problem of broken links (common in regular URLs) as they can be used to retrieve the associated resource regardless of changes in its location. GUIDs also provide a fundamental infrastructure to improve systems interoperability.

   2.   Your input is particularly sought in the following areas:
      a.   If you are involved in a project that is experimenting with or using a GUID technology ([[LSID]], [[DOI]], etc.), please comment on strengths and weaknesses of the approach and your experience in deploying the solution (see ExistingProjects).
      b.   Describe ways in which GUIDs could be used to solve problems within your area of interest (provide a scenario that describes a problem for which GUIDs may be helpful, see GUIDUseCases).

   3.   Send an expression of interest to participate in the workshops.  Please send such applications to [[guids@@gbif.org]], providing the following information:
      a.   Name and contact details
      b.   Institutional affiliation
      c.   Specific area(s) of interest within biodiversity informatics
      d.   Reasons for interest in participation in GUID standards development
      e.   Would you be able to devote time to web-based discussions as part of a working group between the two workshops?
      f.   Would you require support for travel to attend the workshops?

---+++ Background
The Taxonomic Databases Working Group ([[http://www.tdwg.org][TDWG]]) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility ([[http://www.gbif.org][GBIF]]) have received funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation ([[http://www.moore.org][GBMF]]) to review requirements for globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) for biodiversity informatics, and to establish infrastructure to support their use.

This review will consider the use of GUIDs across a wide range of application areas and for the benefit of all communities exchanging biodiversity data.  TDWG and GBIF are therefore seeking input from any institutions holding or using data relating to organismal biodiversity (including, but not limited to: natural history museums, herbaria, culture collections, gene banks, zoological and botanical gardens, and biological monitoring projects).

TDWG and GBIF recognise a particular and urgent need for GUIDs to improve exchange of data relating to the following:

   * Specimens
   * Biological collections
   * [[TaxonConcepts][Taxon concepts]]
   * Taxonomic publications 

GUIDs are also likely to prove important for other data items, such as biological images, morphological characters, field observations and ecological experiments.  Such areas will therefore also be considered to ensure that the proposed models and infrastructure are appropriate for wider use.  See GUIDUseCases for examples of how GUIDs may be useful within biodiversity informatics.

Recent discussions have centred on two possible GUID technologies:

   * [[LSID][Life Science Identifiers]] ([[LSID]]s)
   * [[DOI][Digital Object Identifiers]] ([[DOI]]s)

Other potential technologies include [[Handle]]s (which underlie the implementation of [[DOI]]s).  This review is however also open to considering any suitable alternative.  As far as is appropriate, the aim is to establish a common identifier framework for use throughout biodiversity informatics, but a flexible approach may be adopted if some classes of data (e.g. publications) are already supported by suitable models.

The following additional technologies have been suggested during the course of this review:

   * [[ARK][Archival Resource Key]] ([[ARK]]s)

a28 14
---+++ Process
The plan for the review process is as follows:

   * Survey of requirements: open call for input and requirements from all areas of biodiversity informatics, including:
      * Data objects requiring GUIDs (specimens; taxon concepts; publications; etc.)
      * Application scenarios (allocatíng GUIDs; discovering existing GUIDs; resolving GUIDs; etc.)
      * Issues relating to management of GUIDs within distributed databases (avoidance of duplicate GUIDs identifying different objects; handling of multiple GUIDs identifying the same object; persistence of data; etc.)
      * Potential GUID technologies, including advantages and disadvantages of LSIDs and DOIs
   * First workshop (3 days, 1-3 February 2006, at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent), Durham, North Carolina, USA) to review requirements and evaluate candidate technologies, and to establish working groups
   * Working groups to resolve outstanding issues (using mailing lists and/or Wikis to support public discussion) and provide recommendations
   * Second workshop (3 days, mid-2006 - location to be defined) to assess recommendations from working groups and to define models and processes for initial implementation
   * Publication of TDWG standards for GUIDs and initial implementation of any central services or software tools required to support them
