PILIN Project Outputs : Identifier Modelling

Outputs of the PILIN and PILIN ANDS projects, and related material produced by the PILIN team subsequently.

PILIN Stage 1 project outputs are linked to the original project website, but if that output has been superseded, the new output is listed here as well.

Outputs are coded to each of the three stages:

  • 1 PILIN 1 = PILIN project proper
  • 2 PILIN 2 = PILIN ANDS Transition project
  • 3 PILIN 3 = Subsequent Outputs
  • *Asterisked content has not yet been finalised or approved

Each output is followed by the Handle for the work (which resolves to the latest published version).


Identifier Modelling
PILIN Service Usage Model v.1.1 2 (supersedes v.1.0 1) hdl:102.100.272/L8ZDW6PQH
Service Usage Model for Identifier Management, expressed through the e-framework documentation framework.
Resolution Definition 3* (also at OASIS site) [To be finalised]
Refinement of definition of identifier resolution and retrieval, revising the PILIN Ontology.
Summary of PILIN thinking on identifiers 3, (also at OASIS site) hdl:102.100.272/Y41PWKTRH
Summary definitions written for OASIS, oriented in particular to the debate on identifiers between the OASIS XRI Technical Committee and the W3C Technical Architecture Group.
Feedback from PILIN project to OASIS 3
Feedback offered on the XRI TC response to W3C TAG's position on XRI.
PILIN Ontology for Identifiers and Identifier Services 1 hdl:102.100.272/G9JR4TLQH [Redraft in progress]
The PILIN Identifier Systems Ontology is a formal, abstract model for describing actual (or theoretical) identifier systems. It provides a mechanism for documenting and comparing the design decisions and characteristics that are part of an identifier system. The Identifier Systems Ontology is meant to be applicable to any identifier system.
PILIN Ontology Summary 1 hdl:102.100.272/T9G74WJQH
A simple summary of the PILIN Ontology for Identifiers and Identifier Services. The summary is for introductory purposes only: readers are referred to the ontology proper for more formal and comprehensive definitions.
PILIN Glossary 1 hdl:102.100.272/HHYMV8JQH
Presents concepts defined by the project on identifiers, the things they identify, and the services operating on them, as used throughout the documentation produced by the project.
