EPP.BAI.0IDA persistent identifier, a unique reference to the Provider in the context of the EOSC Portal.String (max 30)1MandatoryYesopenaire
The Provider ID is currently maintained by the EOSC Portal. It is assigned during onboarding of the Provider. It is suggested to use the Provider's abbreviation (see EPP.BAI.2). Two providers cannot have the same id; therefore the EOSC Portal will resolve this when it happens during the registration of a provider.
EOSCENIT-3 IN PROGRESS

In next releases of the model, the id will correspond to a PID issued and resolved by PID providers (like ORCID, doi-like, etc).
