CESSDA-Questinnaire n PIDs The persistent identificatin f CESSDA Service Prviders data hldings requires mre attentin. While sme ERICs achieved practical and administrative successes (e.g. CLARIN), CESSDA still lacks a cmmn apprach t PID services use. T bridge this gap GESIS and cntributing partners - DANS and SND - have the task f preparing administrative guidelines fr persistent identifiers within CESSDA. The utcme f this task will lay the grundwrk fr the develpment f a cmmn CESSDA PID Plicy. T accmplish this we wish t invlve all CESSDA members frm the very beginning. We ask fr yur help btaining an verview f the different CESSDA stakehlders needs and prblems as relates t a cmmn CESSDA PID plicy. This questinnaire is fr all CESSDA member rganizatins. It builds n the DASISH and DwB prjects previus effrts and seeks t determine the current status qu fr PID usage and demands related t a cmmn PID plicy within CESSDA. We kindly ask yu t answer the fllwing questinnaire (which takes abut ten t fifteen minutes). Deadline is Octber 25, 2015. If yu have any questins r remarks, please dn't hesitate t cntact Kerrin.Brschewski@gesis.rg Questin 1) ALL a) Please enter the name f yur rganizatin: b) Des yur rganizatin use persistent identifiers (ther than internal identifiers) fr its data hldings?
