10 Simple rules for design, provision, and reuse of identifiers for web-based life science data

This repository hosts a wiki adapted from the paper 10 Simple rules for design, provision, and reuse of identifiers for web-based life science data by Julie A McMurry, et al.

10 rules for identifiers

  1. Use established identifiers
  2. Design identifiers for use by others
  3. Help local identifiers travel well: document Prefix and Namespace
  4. Opt for simple durable web resolution
  5. Avoid embedding meaning
  6. Make URIs clear and findable
  7. Implement a version management policy
  8. Do not re-assign or delete identifiers
  9. Document the identifiers you issue and use
  10. Reference responsibly

Is this wiki official?

At least not at this stage, this adaption of the paper is just a private intiative by Stian Soiland-Reyes for the purpose of being able to link to individual identifier rules on the web (or shall we say, make each rule have an identifier!).

I believe the original preprint is undergoing peer review for its submission at PLoS Computational Biology and does not (as far as I know) have its own web site or precense beyond its preprint at Zenodo.
