Draft:Persistent Web IDentifier

Submission declined on 16 March 2025 by Caleb Stanford (talk).

Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

Comment: There are citation errors. Please check whether the article is notable according to independent, reliable sources. If not, the topic may be a better fit for adding some mention to an existing article, rather than creating a new standalone article. Caleb Stanford (talk) 22:03, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Persistent Web IDentifier (PWID) is a system for creating persistent and resolvable references to content in web archives. The objective is to provide references that at the same time are human-readable and algorithmically resolvable, satisfying the FAIR principles.^[1]

History

The development of PWID started in 2016, then termed wPID. The aim was to solve a growing problem of link rot in academic papers, Court opinions and beyond.^[2] Researchers advocating for and developing PWID was critical of how various ways of referencing web resources over time proved not to be persistent.^[3] In 2018, the name of the proposed URN had changed into PWID.^[4]
