Getting running with ARK persistent identifiers 1College of Computing and Informatics, Drexel University, United States of America; 2Polyneme LLC In this 90-minute tutorial we will introduce you to ARKs (Archival Resource Keys), which can serve as persistent identifiers, or stable, trusted references for information objects (eg, web addresses that don’t return 404 Page Not Found errors). In more than two decades, 8.2 billion ARKs have been created by over 1200 organizations — libraries, data centers, archives, museums, publishers, government agencies, and vendors. Highly flexible and non-paywalled, ARKs are adopted increasingly by organizations in the global South and by those that need large numbers of identifiers. With guided exercises, by the end of the session, participants will know when and how to create and manage ARKs. We will cover: Why ARKs – non-paywalled, decentralized, flexible Use cases – Smithsonian, French National Library, Internet Archive Metadata for early and ongoing object development How to get started – fill out one form Minting and assigning ARK identifiers Resolvers, resolution, redirection Persistence considerations | ||
