Pre-Meeting Seminar 03 - Identifiers: Their Care and Feeding - Best Practices and New Developments for Scholarly Publishers

This half-day seminar will provide an overview of new developments and best practices in the use of identifiers for scholarly publishers. Identifiers are increasingly critical for the most effective search and discovery for trading partners of all sorts, but also are being used increasingly as a way for publishers to correctly identify individuals and institutions that may be customers or contributors to their works. The seminar will also look at the need for their internal systems to appropriately store, capture and disseminate the identifiers. Some of the leading names will present from the major identifier organizations covering all aspects of the industry to encourage a dialog between tarde. The proceedings will commence with a quiz to test your knowledge of identifiers new and old with a Grand Prize for the winner.
