FAIRsharing record for: FAIR Principles F1-PID: (Meta)data are assigned persistent identifiers

This FAIRsharing record describes: 'FAIR Principles F1-PID: (Meta)data are assigned persistent identifiers' further refines the F1 principle that covers both global uniqueness and persistence to consider only the persistence aspects. Persistence refers to the requirement that this globally unique identifier is never reused in another context, and continues to identify the same resource over time, even if that resource should no longer exist, or moves from one digital environment to another. Persistence is a social commitment made by the stakeholder responsible for issuing the identifiers, that these identifiers will continue to map to the objects they identify for a defined period of time.
