"It feels increasingly like the adoption of persistent identifiers (PIDs) and, critically, the metadata associated with them, are at a tipping point," writes Alice Meadows. As Phill Jones says, "systems like ORCID single sign-on and metadata registries won't remove all administrative burden, but they will eliminate much of it." But crucially, "no one benefits until everyone benefits. Whatever the approach to expanding PID adoption and integrations, it's in everyone's interests to ensure that smaller and/or less financially secure organizations can participate on an equal footing with their larger, wealthier counterparts." And while Meadows doesn't say so explicitly, large publishers have been unwilling to share with the wider community, which has from my perspective long been a stumbling block.
