[Irtalk] Human-readable and machine-readable Persistent Identifiers

[Hilton Gibson]

Yesterday Julie McMurry and co-authors published a preprint 10 Simple rules
for design, provision, and reuse of persistent identifiers for life science
data (McMurry et al., 2015). This is an important paper trying to address a
fundamental problem: *how can we make persistent identifiers both
human-readable and machine-readable?*
