Most biomedical data repositories issue locally-unique accessions numbers, but do
not provide globally unique, machine-resolvable, persistent identifiers for their
datasets, as required by publishers wishing to implement data citation in
accordance with widely accepted principles. Local accessions may however be
prefixed with a namespace identifier, providing global uniqueness. Such "compact
identifiers" have been widely used in biomedical informatics to support global
resource identification with local identifier assignment. We report here on our
project to provide robust support for machine-resolvable, persistent compact
identifiers in biomedical data citation, by harmonizing the Identifiers.org and
N2T.net (Name-To-Thing) meta-resolvers and extending their capabilities.
Identifiers.org services hosted at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory -
European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and N2T.net services hosted at the
California Digital Library (CDL), can now resolve any given identifier from over
600 source databases to its original source on the Web, using a common registry
of prefix-based redirection rules. We believe these services will be of
significant help to publishers and others implementing persistent,
machine-resolvable citation of research data.
