Archival Resource Keys (ARKs) is an open PID system that provides reliable references for information objects. They are a cost-effective and flexible alternative for assigning persistent identifiers. In this seminar, we will present two implementation experiences of ARK in the Latin American region. ARK-CAICYT is a service platform for assigning persistent identifiers, while dARK is a decentralized and open PID service conceived from the beginning as a public good for the Open Science ecosystem.
About
In the current research ecosystem, Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) are a key element for identifying and referring to articles, books, authors, documents, files, databases, samples, artworks, and web pages, among other digital objects, in a “permanent” manner.
Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) have established themselves as an effective and standardized solution for identifying digital objects. However, in some regions of the Global South, DOI coverage is low due to the costs associated with these services for certain institutions.
In this context, we present alternative, complementary, and innovative solutions developed in Latin America aimed at improving PID coverage in our region.
Archival Resource Keys (ARKs) is an open PID system that provides reliable references for information objects, offering a low-cost and flexible alternative for assigning persistent identifiers.
In this seminar, we present two implementation experiences of ARK in the Latin American region.
The seminar will provide an overview of the topic, along with the approach that LA Referencia is developing in collaboration with its national nodes. Following that, specific projects will be presented, and the audience will be invited to share their questions.
