Consider persistent IDs

[maxogden]

Good question, I asked the Data.gov about this and they said:

I'd love to discuss UUID's some more. we recommend globally unique IRI's for the required unique identifier on all dataset metadata, and used DOI's as the example, but unfortunately the policy only requires identifiers to be unique within each agency and sadly that's what the majority of them are doing.

We should really set a clear path to transitioning these to UUID's or to providing something like DOIs. There is some spotty use of DOI's in the federal government, and I think LOC mostly uses this Handle server - http://hdl.loc.gov

Data.gov generates UUIDs through CKAN for each dataset but we really only use that for our own purposes

I also have been trying to learn more about PIDs and did a blog post here that raises some questions at the bottom in regards to their use for archival purposes https://datproject.org/blog/2016-11-11-pidapalooza, but I haven't check out GRID IDs, thanks for the tip!
