| definition | Type of record (and organisation) that stores an instance of an executable/understandable PID. The content of a PID record distinguishes a registered digital or data object from other digital objects. A PID record is a type of record that includes property information that characterises the digital object it is identifying. Important parts of a PID record are location and checksum. However there is a large variation in usage. In some data models the PID is simply used as a unique label with an empty record. A PID record has a lifecycle including creation, publication, curation and destruction. | ||||||
