Communities

End-users

B2HANDLE is perfect for:

Core communities who want to establish the usage of persistent identifiers in their community and exploit B2HANDLE to enrich their specific applications with extra functionality and End-users who want to benefit from improved cross-community tools. If they employ the EUDAT service suite, they will also benefit indirectly from the B2HANDLE service.

Resource offers

For Researchers

PIDs are normally automatically minted at and within data management and data repository systems, for example via the EUDAT B2SHARE data repository service. Therefore, researchers in need of a Persistent Identifier for a data set can publish the data set via the B2SHARE service.

For Data Managers

B2HANDLE is the distributed service for minting, storing, managing, and accessing persistent identifiers (PIDs) and essential metadata (PID records) as well as managing PID namespaces. The B2HANDLE service allows Data Managers and Data Providers the registration and minting PIDs which can be integrated within Data Repositories and other Data Management platforms.

Prefix

PIDs are comparable to the ISBN numbers assigned to books. A PID consists of a Prefix and a Suffix. The Prefix identifies the naming authority of the PIDs identified by the Prefix. The prefixes acquired via EUDAT are ePIC Handle Prefixes and are globally resolvable via the Handle.net Global Resolving Network. This offer does not include the PID Hosting service, the Prefixes need to be configured in a Handle service separately. If you require also PID hosting, please select the PID Hosting offer.
