I would like to discuss the use of persistent identifiers.
Presently, We are using the DOI and URN persistent identifiers
for the publication and reference of primary data (www.std-doi.de).
For our application, of course, the DOI (
http://dx.doi.org/) and URN
(
http://www.persistent-identifier.de/resolving/ResolverDemo.php)
systems are not adequate. However, the idea of persistent identifiers
or keywords could solve the problem of the persistent metadata
identification in the NetCDF-CF header. The persistent identifier
doesn't need to contain semantic meaning. The URL before it could be
changed but the object (meaning) behind must be persistent.
We wold need a resolver system which should be installed at more than
one institute. I am not an expert to set up a resolver system but
may be there is anyone who has experience with it.
Best wishes
Heinke
