A growing awareness of the need for permanent, globally unique identifiers for both physical specimens and digital data has led to the development of new systems for minting, tracking, resolving, and querying identifiers. While work has been published on identifier type characteristics and best practices for their application, there has been little empirical research on the functionality of identifiers or the services that support them, especially on elements of the data lifecycle that occur before publication. Practitioners working with identifiers are aware of the technical and social issues and limitations in the application and use of identifier systems. Yet, there is limited understanding of whether and how systems will scale to support very large, multidisciplinary datasets, or time to imagine and address next generation challenges. This award will support a meeting to bring together experienced identifier practitioners for facilitated activities to document the current state of the field, identify and elucidate the technical issues, and propose solutions. This workshop will focus on identifier solutions to big, interdisciplinary data. Multi-disciplinary participants will be tasked with imagining, discussing, proposing, and hacking next generation solutions for data identifiers. In addition, a portion of the workshop will serve as a hackathon, so that participants have opportunities to develop some initial implementations. This meeting will seek synergy across disciplines by inviting diverse participants from multiple domains who might not otherwise work together, opening potential for new, cross-community collaborations. A meeting report and peer reviewed articles will be written on the workshop outcomes, and any software produced during the hackathon activities will be available for public access through Github. Inclusion of early career scientists will provide training and promote the adoption of new solutions and technologies, and care will be taken to ensure participation by under-represented groups.

人们日益认识到，实物标本和数字数据都需要永久的全球唯一的识别符，这导致了制造、跟踪、解析和查询识别符的新系统的发展。虽然已经发表了关于识别符类型特征及其应用的最佳做法的工作，但很少有关于识别符的功能或支持它们的服务的经验性研究，特别是关于在发布之前发生的数据生命周期要素的经验性研究。从事识别码工作的从业人员了解识别码系统的应用和使用中的技术和社会问题以及限制。然而，对于系统是否以及如何进行扩展以支持非常大的多学科数据集，或者想象和应对下一代挑战的时间，人们的理解有限。该奖项将支持召开一次会议，召集有经验的识别器从业人员，开展便利活动，记录该领域的现状，查明和阐明技术问题，并提出解决方案。本次研讨会将重点介绍面向大数据、跨学科数据的识别符解决方案。多学科参与者的任务是想象、讨论、提出和破解下一代数据识别器解决方案。此外，研讨会的一部分将作为黑客马拉松，以便参与者有机会开发一些初步实施。这次会议将寻求跨学科的协同，邀请来自多个领域的不同参与者，否则他们可能不会一起工作，从而为新的、跨社区的合作打开潜力。将就研讨会的成果编写一份会议报告和同行评议的文章，在黑客松活动期间制作的任何软件都将通过Github向公众开放。纳入早期职业科学家将提供培训并促进采用新的解决办法和技术，并将注意确保代表性不足的群体参与。
