Abstract

A stable reference of Internet resources is crucial not only to identify a resource in a trustworthy and certied way but also to guarantee continuous access to it over time. The current practice in scientic publication as the use of a Persistent Identier (PID) like a DOI or Handle, is becoming attractive also for the datasets. In fact, in the era of Big Data, the aspects of replicability and verication of the scientic result are paramount. In this paper we verify the functional feasibility of permissioned blockchain technology as a tool to implement a Trustworthy Persistent Identier (T-PID) system for datasets in the scientic domain.
