Persistent identifier
A persistent unique identifier (PID) is an alphanumeric string that provides an unambiguous and lasting identification of a digital or physical object (e.g., Crossref DOI for a publication, DataCite DOI for data, SWHID for code or software, ORCID for a contributor, ROR for an institution). Interoperable and machine-readable, these identifiers make it easier to exchange information between different information systems.
