RAiD is a Persistent IDentifier for research projects
A research project is an activity. It takes place over a period of time, has a set scope, is resourced by researchers, research support staff and uses and produces data
RAiD is a unique and persistent identifier for research projects.
It acts as a container for research project activities by collecting identifiers for the people, publications, instruments and institutions that are involved.
