Description
SciencePAD (Platforms, Applications, Data) is an initiative to investigate how to collect, store and preserve information about software used in scientific research and how to link the information with the contexts in which software is used, that is publications, data analysis, authors and users, organizations, fundings, etc. In order to formalize and manage the relationships a clear and widely used definition of persistent identifiers for all categories of objects is required. This presentation will describe the SciencePAD initiative main goals and plans and how we plan to use and contribute to the definition of PIDs
