The 2,500 museums, heritage collections and heritage sites in the UK house at least 200 million physical and digital objects. Being able to uniquely identify these objects is key to facilitating their use and curation - you cannot provide a researcher with access to an item or include it in an exhibition if you don't know what it is. Unique accession numbers are therefore a key component in all collection and library management systems but these only include the objects within an individual collection. To fully realise the potential benefits of our national collections in terms of the social and cultural life of the UK, the economic impact of the heritage sector, and the contribution to the UK's international prestige and influence, we need identifiers that will bring together all of the objects from all of the collections.Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) that provide a long-lasting actionable reference to a digital object are recognised by UKRI as a key component of future research infrastructure enabling data discovery, access and citation. Facilitating wider adoption and consistency of approach to the assigning of PIDs to collection objects, environments, specimens and other relevant entities, is a key step to the persistent, unambiguous linking of collections in order to create a digital UK National Collection. However, the challenges, utility and wider benefits of PID implementation are less well understood across the heritage sector. While many individual institutions are using PIDs to a greater or lesser extent, to date there has been very little cross-sector or cross-collection collaboration and / or support to facilitate a cohesive approach that will maximise the benefits to all organisations.This foundation project will bring together best practices in the use of PIDs from a collection perspective, building on existing IRO work and expertise developed through existing research projects. By sharing expertise and best practice, we will provide a framework and recommendations on the approach to PIDs for colleagues in local, regional and national institutions across the UK heritage sector. Through a mixture of workshops, desk research and case studies, the project will seek to answer questions such as 'What are the gaps in the existing PID landscape for heritage collections, buildings and environments?' and 'What should a PID infrastructure, strategy and governance framework look like for a unified UK national collection?'.The project will deliver a set of recommendations to guide the selection, implementation and use of PIDs to heritage collections and related entities and concepts, as well as a number of case studies and supporting resources that can be used across the sector as a guide to real-world PID implementation. In driving the use of PIDs for heritage collections, the project will enable greater use of these collections in all contexts, but especially in research. It will allow improved linking across platforms such as Wikidata, making it easier to associate related concepts and metadata with canonical sources of artefact information and the artefacts themselves. It will provide for the curation and selection of this information from diverse sources to be displayed alongside artefacts in physical spaces and online viewers. Importantly, they will also make this increase in use more evident and measurable, through the improved metrics that PIDs support.

英国的2，500个博物馆、文物收藏和遗址至少收藏了2亿件实物和数字物品。能够唯一地识别这些对象是促进其使用和策展的关键-如果您不知道它是什么，您无法向研究人员提供访问项目或将其纳入展览。因此，唯一的登录号是所有收藏和图书馆管理系统的关键组成部分，但这些系统仅包括单个收藏中的对象。为了充分实现我们国家收藏品在英国社会和文化生活方面的潜在利益，遗产部门的经济影响，以及对英国国际声望和影响力的贡献，我们需要将所有集合中的所有对象聚集在一起的标识符。持久标识符（PID）提供一个长-UKRI认为，对数字对象的持久可操作参考是未来研究基础设施的关键组成部分，可以实现数据发现，访问和引用。促进更广泛地采用和一致性的方法来分配PID到收藏对象，环境，标本和其他相关实体，是一个关键步骤，以建立一个数字化的英国国家收藏的持久，明确的链接。然而，整个遗产部门对PID实施的挑战、效用和更广泛的好处了解得不多。虽然许多机构或多或少地使用了PID，但到目前为止，很少有跨部门或跨收集的合作和/或支持，以促进一种统一的方法，使所有机构都能获得最大的利益。这个基础项目将从收集的角度收集使用PID的最佳实践，以国际铁路组织现有的工作和通过现有研究项目开发的专业知识为基础。通过分享专业知识和最佳实践，我们将为英国遗产部门的地方，区域和国家机构的同事提供关于PID方法的框架和建议。通过研讨会，案头研究和案例研究的混合，该项目将寻求回答这样的问题，如“什么是现有的PID景观遗产收藏，建筑和环境的差距？以及“对于一个统一的英国国家收藏来说，PID基础设施、战略和治理框架应该是什么样子？该项目将提出一套建议，指导对遗产收藏品和相关实体及概念选择、实施和使用PID，并提供一些案例研究和支持资源，可供整个部门用作实际PID实施的指南。在推动将PID用于遗产收藏的过程中，该项目将使这些收藏品在所有情况下得到更多的使用，特别是在研究中。它将允许改进跨平台的链接，如维基数据，使其更容易将相关概念和元数据与人工制品信息的规范来源和人工制品本身联系起来。它将提供从各种来源中挑选和挑选这些信息，与实物空间和在线观众中的文物一起展示。重要的是，他们还将通过改进PID支持的指标，使这种使用的增加更加明显和可衡量。
