Demystifying PIDs and getting a handle on handles
Severely puzzled by encountering frequent references to PIDs in information about storing research data, and thus wondering how “pelvic inflammatory diseases” relate to data storage, EUDAT’s intrepid roving reporter set out north once more to interview Carl Johan Håkansson, the product manager for EUDAT’s B2SHARE service, in Stockholm. We are glad to report that the trip to the PDC Center for High Performance Computing at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology relieved those worries. Read on and you can discover what data-related PIDs really are, and also learn a nifty shortcut for sharing your stored research data with colleagues around the world: welcome to the wonderful world of PIDs and handles!
