PID to Portal - Deliverable A1: Framework report

PID to Portal - Deliverable 1: Framework report The visibility, quality, and reliability of Dutch research information are increasingly vital for national and international collaboration, open science policies, and institutional steering. This project strengthens the infrastructure for Open Research Information (ORI), enabling Dutch institutions to maintain control over their research outputs while aligning with key developments such as the NPOS ambitions and the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information.Current gaps in metadata quality, persistent identifier (PID) usage, and system integration hinder both policy compliance and strategic insight. At the same time, there is a growing dependence on external platforms, and an opportunity to both analyze and address metadata quality and PID usage and interoperability in ways that closed infrastructures do not allow. The PID to Portal project aims to develop a monitoring framework and ORI-related measurements that provide actionable insights into metadata quality, PID adoption, and metadata licensing across institutions. The project will monitor the quality and coverage of PIDs and metadata, and will define possible interventions and priorities to improve those at the source. This prologues the activities in OSNL projects DURF and BROCCOLI. This report (Deliverable A1) describes a set of prioritized use cases, metadata elements, sources, aspects of metadata quality and expected issues, using insights from a consultation session with NL Barcelona Declaration Signatories. Building on these insights, a high-level overview of the monitoring framework is provided. By comparing prioritized metadata elements across sources, gaps in metadata coverage can be identified. This will inform interventions to improve metadata coverage and quality in relevant sources, which in turn will benefit common use cases. A follow-up report (Deliverable A2) will outline detailed metrics of quality & coverage of prioritized entities (PIDs and other metadata), documenting what and how to measure for each type of metadata element.
