Persistent unique identifiers (PID)

[anders-kolstad]

Is there a way we can assigne persistent identifier to the individual fact sheets?
DOI's from zenodo get assigned to entire repos only.

THe easiers way, but maybe not so permanent or stabe, is to use the url. Then we must avoid overqriting fact sheets when new version come in for the same indicator. Currently the html files are names only with the indicatorID (e.g. NO_GJEN_001). The PID could be this:

https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/NINAnor/ecRxiv/blob/main/indicators/NO_GJEN_001/R/NO_GJEN_001.html

But this will be replaces when there is a version update. We can maybe add the version to the file name. The file names would get confusingly logn, like NO_GJEN_001_000_001.

I suggest the last version always used the url as above, but ecRxiv admin also manually make duplicates of all html-files that are merged with main, and add the six digit version number to it.

Thoughts @DrMattG ?
