The Research Data Alliance working group Persistent Identification of Instruments WG seeks to explore a community-driven solution for globally unique identification of active instruments in the sciences.

This repository is used to maintain the PIDINST schema for the metadata describing the instrument instance to be registered in the PID infrastructure. Version 1.0 of the schema has been endorsement as a RDA recommendation.

Furthermore, the repository provides a mapping of the PIDINST schema onto the current DataCite Metadata Schema 4.4.
