Unheard Voices: Practice based Arts Research and the PID Landscape

This session aims to bring together interested people from all over the world to talk about PIDs in practice-based arts research. It will start with a brief case study on the experience at the University of Westminster, based in London in the UK, who engaged with their practice-based arts research community (and supplier Haplo) to develop their new open source repository software to identify what this research looks like and how the repository could better reflect it. We will then highlight how various Persistent Identifiers don’t quite fit the practice-research landscape – or where they could do, how and where practitioners require more specific guidance that addresses practice research. Without this, the many benefits of the PID graph/landscape are not available to the practice-based research community. The specific examples we will cover include: ORCID iDs, DOIs, RAID and the CRediT taxonomy.Tom Renner wrote the original submission, Taylor Mudd presented during Pidapalooz
