OK. Back to integrating the Zenodo API onto Open Context.

Another question for the set.

Shall I use EZID to mint ARK identifiers for all 1.5 million URIs managed by OC? @paregorios will Pleiades plan on minting persistent IDs for all Pleiades entities or you happy with DOIs for data dumps, and not bother with persistent IDs for more granular data?

I'm just trying to judge what is a good use of my time, and what's broadly useful.

@ekansa @paregorios what does a typical OC URI look like? I think "cool URIs" don't need an additional layer of persistence, unless 1) you've got a separate archival resource, perhaps for long term preservation 2) the additional PID is transparent, e.g. it has a different prefix than the HTTP base URL, but keeps the same suffix identifier.

Makes sense?

Eric Kansa @ekansa

@steko @paregorios

Here's a typical URI:
opencontext.org/media/48fb6172

I also have an ARK id for it:
n2t.net/ark:/28722/k2q244j7j

The JSON-LD representation (opencontext.org/media/48fb6172) says "owl:sameAs" for the ARK id.

I just want to maximize the probability that someone can look up the citation to an OC record over the years.

What do you all think? Will it help, harm, or "meh" to add ARK identifiers to all our URI identified data?

@ekansa

My guess is that if you have the personal/technical/resource bandwidth to do the work (ongoing basis?), then it's probably good resiliency.

The effort is minimal, because I can script it. Getting ARKs from EZID just requires API calls.

So, ok, I'll get on it.

Stefano Costa 🎈 @steko

@ekansa @paregorios @aejolene @sebhth so ARKs are free to mint? If so, why is favoured?

Tom Elliott @paregorios@social.coop

@steko

Because otherwise undigital-aware faculty uncritically absorbed the publishing-industry propaganda about DOIs and liked that there was nothing they needed to do for their journal articles to acquire them?

@sebhth @aejolene @ekansa

Eric Kansa @ekansa

@paregorios @aejolene @sebhth @steko

I think Tom called it. Also DOIs get more indexing in different discovery and metrics (including Altmetrics).

EZID supports minting 1 million ARKs / year at $1500 / year service fee.

@ekansa @paregorios @aejolene @sebhth btw, Altmetrics is part of Digital Science which is part of the Holtzbrinck Publishing Group holtzbrinck.com/
