You can now discover the first instruments via @DataCite Commons at https://t.co/C9h9r1F1QZ. Infrastructures are beginning to use the recently introduced support for instruments in the DataCite metadata schema v. 4.5.
Exciting news: @DataCite has released schema version 4.5, which adds support for instruments to the metadata schema with a new option for resourceTypeGeneral and new relationTypes to interlink with data. More at https://t.co/TLmNOlo5xo
The RDA PIDINST WG is soon going to submit its White Paper at https://t.co/QmIGhhjtpD as Supporting Output to @resdatall. Thanks to WG member Aoki, the living document now also has a Japanese translation!
A German consortium has submitted a @dfg_public proposal for a project that develops a sustained international governance for persistent identification of instruments to solidify trust in this identifier type and install the practice in research communities and infrastructures.
meet brand new, first-in-Scotland @StrathForensics MiSeq FGx next-generation sequencing system by @VerogenBio#PIDs for instruments issued upon purchase could offer such a potential for tracking their usage!

Very interesting read: @pcastromartin et al. (2023). Persistent identifiers for research instruments and facilities: an emerging PID domain in need of coordination. https://t.co/is0SoefPXR
DataCite Schema Version 4.5 - which will include support for Instruments - should be released during Q1 2023. The resourceTypeGeneral controlled list will include a new value "Instrument".
With the upcoming @DataCite schema changes it should be possible to more easily implement a meta catalogue/search for instrument metadata (abstracting DataCite, ePIC, possibly others). Useful? #PIDINST
Yay, @DataCite will be releasing a ResourceTypeGeneral for instruments in schema 4.5 (Q4/22). The draft comes with the opportunity for public comment. Important step for search, instrument-data-organization-article linking, metacataloguing instruments, etc. #PIDINST
The #PIDINST White Paper with lots of technical documentation on the persistent identification of measuring instruments used in the sciences can now be accessed via https://t.co/WAhdkyb6xJ.
Join us tomorrow, Wed, June 22 at 5 am UTC for @resdatall Plenary session to hear about #PIDINST Metadata Schema Recommendation (https://t.co/2Pr5p6yxMt) - among other cool things. https://t.co/VADl9iem4V - yes, we are on Twitter now.
