---++ GUID Technologies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The group is evaluating the following GUID technologies:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [[LSID][Life Science Identifiers (LSIDs)]]
|
||
|
|
* [[DOI][Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)]]
|
||
|
|
* [[Handle]]
|
||
|
|
* [[PURL][PersistentURL]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See a [[TechnologyComparison][comparison of these technologies]] in the context of biodiversity informatics.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 (ARKs)]]
|
||
|
|
* [[PURL][Persistent Unique Resource Locators (PURLs)]]
|
||
|
|
|

Recently, the TDWG Technical Architecture Group (TAG) has raised the question of WhyWeShouldNotUseLSIDs and arguments about the UsePURLsAsGUIDs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have transferred the relevant pages to this wiki as it is the most appropriate place to discuss the issue.
