Three different aspects are then examined under the common theme of PID landscape fragmentation: the dichotomy between 'technical' and 'admin-oriented' PIDs, the coexistence of competing technical solutions for specific PIDs and the ambiguous concept of 'community' in the expression "community-driven PID". Two main recommendations are finally provided to address the current fragmentation in the PID landscape.},

These six organisations are CSC in Finland, CNRS in France, DeiC in Denmark, DFG in Germany, Jisc in the UK and SURF in the Netherlands. One specific area of activity for KE – as part of its collaborative work to support the development of digital infrastructures to enable open science – is the analysis of the quickly evolving persistent identifier (PID) landscape, and in particular the issues around risks and trust in pursuit of a wellfunctioning Persistent Identifier infrastructure for research. Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) and their associated infrastructures are considered to be of vital importance for accountability, reproducibility and credibility of today’s research. PIDs foster transparency in methods and scientific output, identification and referencing of scientific outputs, and thus contribute to Open Science and Open Scholarship. Back in June 2021 the KE Task & Finish Group for PIDs Risk and Trust (see its composition here) commissioned an external study to explore the risks and trust issues associated with the current PID landscape. The winning bid, issued by a team of four consultants in Germany, France and the UK under the banner of Scidecode Science Consulting, included two members of the euroCRIS Board among the experts to carry out this analysis. An early project presentation was delivered on Dec 8th, 2021 within a webinar on PID implementation organised by ORCID and DataCite for the Research Information Management community in Poland. In this short presentation the project methodology, objectives and time schedule were briefly described. The project work – which will be fairly advanced by the time the CRIS2022 conference is held, hence the usefulness of having the opportunity to present its early findings for a discussion with the RIM community – is to be based on a number of interviews with PID experts in (mostly) the six KE member countries. The interviewees will represent the six main PID roles identified in the scoping document drafted by the KE T&F Group under the title "Risk and trust in pursuit of a well-functioning PID infrastructure for research" (these are PID Authority, PID Service Provider, PID Manager, PID Owner and PID User).
