Getting a Handle on Federal Information: Persistent Identification
Using
Handles(r)
A CENDI Workshop
January 29, 2003
As the federal government moves to break down information stovepipes
in
the interest of electronic government and homeland security, CENDI,
the
STI Federal Managers' Group, is hosting a one-day workshop on
persistent
identification using Handles(r). Persistent digital identifiers are
key
to the integration of, access to, and long-term preservation of
digital
information. These identifiers are permanently assigned to the
digital
object and are retained, even if the physical location of the object
changes. This system, which was originally funded through federal
contracts, is the basis for commercial publishing approaches such as
the
Digital Object Identifier and CrossRef. This workshop will focus on
traditional and non-traditional uses. Federal implementers of Handles
will discuss their applications. The workshop will end with a
discussion
of Handles as a component of an infrastructure for federal digital
information management, integration and preservation.
The workshop is intended for information managers, webmasters, content
developers/managers, information architects, technical developers,
librarians and archivists.
