<p>Content pass: encyclopedic seed/expansion</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A &#039;&#039;&#039;persistent identifier&#039;&#039;&#039; (PID) is a long-lived name for a digital object—such as a DOI, Handle, ARK, or ORCID iD—that is intended to remain stable even when storage locations change. PIDs are resolved through registries that update target URLs, reducing [[Link rot]] compared with raw filenames on personal sites.<br /> <br /> ==Encyclopedic use==<br /> Citing a DOI for a paper or dataset is usually more durable than citing a publisher HTML page alone. PIDs complement, rather than replace, [[Web archiving]] of open web resources that lack formal identifiers.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Citation]]<br /> * [[Cool URI]]<br /> * [[Reference rot]]<br /> <br /> ==Sources==<br /> * DOI Foundation and ARK Alliance documentation.<br /> * Scholarly-communication primers on PIDs.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Standards]]<br /> [[Category:Sources]]<br /> [[Category:Concepts]]</div>
