The project FAIR Facilities and Instruments published a workshop report that summarizes the discussions regarding persistent identifiers (#PIDs) for research facilities and instruments.

Are you familiar with the Journal of Large-Scale Research Facilities (JLRSF)? JLSRF publishes articles on large-scale scientific equipment from various scientific disciplines as well as on individual components of large-scale research facilities.
In a blog post, we want to show you how this can be related to a standardized use of #PIDs (Persistent Identifiers) for instruments and the benefits of an article in this journal.
Siobhann McCafferty and @pid_perth spoke on #PersistentIdentifiers for Instruments at #PIDFest
These #PIDs are for physical *instances*, not e.g. instrument make-model catalog entries (cf. RRIDs (https://www.rrids.org/), e.g. https://n2t.net/rrid:SCR_000011).
Offered "best practices": use a DOI or a Handle, use the #PIDINST metadata schema (https://doi.org/10.15497/RDA00070), and use Handles for instrument calibration data. No formal recommendation offered re: schema for "calibration metadata record" or "configuration metadata record".
One expressed hope: #MachineLearning for instrument calibration via calibration metadata records for particular instruments.
Interesting session about Persistent Identifiers for Instrument at #pidfest. Siobhann McCafferty (ARDC) and Jens Klump (CSIRO) @pid_perth presented PID integration guidelines and the development of a PID maturity model assesment tool.
Check also the Australian PID roadmap and strategy https://ardc.edu.au/project/australian-national-persistent-identifier-pid-strategy-and-roadmap/
A wide range of presentations are, many examples and areas of application for #PIDs for instruments were presented.
We talked about metadata, sensors, large devices and linking and networking.
Thanks to all speakers from @gwdg @datacite @tibhannover @GFZ @hzbde @awi and Bern University Library
