Hi,
I've registered for this meeting - it's just up the road from me. (Also
for the Linked Pasts meeting in Madrid the following week - don't these
people ever talk to each other? :-))

Dear all,
I assume some of you already know of this. It could make sense that
someone from CIDOC were present, and most of the relevant people read
this list, I believe.
Kind regards,

Betreff: Workshop invitation: Persistent Identifiers in the

I’m writing to invite you to a *workshop on* the potential of
*persistent identifiers in the humanities* with a focus on History.
The workshop will take place in London at the British Library on
Friday 9th December.
Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are increasingly embedded in the
services that researchers use every day, enabling unambiguous
attribution of the full range of scholarly outputs. This makes it
easier for data producers and researchers to get credit for their
contributions; for data centres, universities and funders to track
the impact of the research they facilitate; for publishers to
incorporate data into scholarly writing; and for researchers to
discover and cite data with clear provenance.
Uptake in the humanities, however, lags behind other disciplines. We
are running a series of workshops to better understand the potential
for persistent identifier services in the humanities, identify
barriers to uptake and create a roadmap to guide future development.
It would be great if you or someone from your team could participate.
If you would like to recommend someone to attend, please let us know
and we will try to extend an invitation.
Attendance is free, but places are limited so that we can have an
active and open discussion. *Please register by Thursday 3 November*
at
<https://thor_pidsinhumanities.eventbrite.com/>https://thor_pidsinhumanities.eventbrite.com
so that we can arrange catering and plan appropriately.
The workshop is organised through the EU-funded THOR project
(https://project-thor.eu/).
If you have any questions, please send enquiries to
eve...@project-thor.eu <mailto:eve...@project-thor.eu>.
Kind regards,
Dr Adam Farquhar
Head of Digital Scholarship, The British Library
THOR Project Coordinator
