totally forgot, @KateShaw has a new episode out today, about animals that use names for each other in ways similar to how humans use names ... or maybe not quite the same

How long is a DOI? Does UTF-8 make a difference? Is it important?

This year @datacite made their public data file available, which means we can compare DataCite and @crossref 's DOIs.

(The answer is about 18 - 25 characters, but you should read the post)

Celebrating 5 years of the Crossref Grant Linking System! The GLS connects #research outputs with unique #grant IDs, supporting open science. We recently talked with funders worldwide about its benefits.

Ce matin, c'est atelier #UrfistBordeaux #Wikidata , avec P-Y Baudouin !

In case you missed it last week, we posted our most recent #TechTalk blog post exploring a topic that has come up in discussions: URLs and URIs for #LinkedData

Take a look at: https://www.epimorphics.com/uris-for-linked-data/

Yesterday we posted our most recent tech talk blog post explore a topic that keeps coming up in discussions: URLs and URIs for linked data, take a look at: https://www.epimorphics.com/uris-for-linked-data/

In our newest tech talk we explore an old topic, but one that keeps coming up in discussions: URLs and URIs forLinked Data - the why, the what and the how of URIs.

> If you work in the technical or operational teams of a #CulturalHeritage institution, and know how your institution manages #identifiers for digitised objects, or if you are running an #aggregation service, we invite you to take approximately 15 minutes to answer our survey. Please also share it with other colleagues that are most involved in this work.

In building the FSA's internal Unified View system we also helped to produce a Reference Number Generator specification and micro-service. This provides a standard method for generating reference numbers for a number of special cases within the FSA.

Many #programming languages permit #Unicode #identifiers. For long time I wondered, why anyone would do that: All the programming languages, all the common libraries use English to name their keywords and identifiers. Therefore using any other language for your own identifiers would appear inconsitent and odd.

Well, but how about this?

if (something_went_wrong)
throw mylib::_really_bad_error(...);

That stop sign emoji boldly stands out in your code and greatly highlights dangerous code.

@JulieNye I am a huge fan of discovery in all forms. And managing attention. I was just weighing on the idea that any of us can really anticipate with any accuracy what anyone objects to and can therefore somehow tag it accurately. It's just never going to work at scale. Preference has to be at the community and individual's level. Filters are find, but content level #identifiers will be impossible to standardize, normalize, police, or warn anyone with, with a few obvious exceptions.
