Information and documentation — Research activity identifier (RAiD)

This document defines the use and structure of the Research Activity Identifier (RAiD) system. The RAiD system includes a registry which supports the identification of research projects, i.e. projects managed in a scholarly or industrial environment which are expected to lead to specified outputs. It also specifies the RAiD metadata record which holds key metadata relating to the identified project and indicates relationships to other entities and their persistent identifiers and metadata. RAiD is an identifier for research projects and sub projects or tasks within such projects. It is not itself an identifier for any individual, group or institution, it is not a repository for project documentation or deliverables, nor is it a repository, platform or storage method. It does not apply to research outputs.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

ISO 23527:2022(E)
Introduction
The research activity identifier (RAiD) is a persistent identifier for research projects and supports data
management across all phases of research by placing the research activity (or project) at the centre of
research workflows, creating a chain of provenance, improving discovery and access, and ensuring that
output is attributable and reportable.
[8]
It also supports the F.A.I.R Principles of making research data findable, accessible, interoperable, and
re-usable.
A RAiD name is associated with a RAiD metadata record.
The RAiD metadata record holds metadata including standard identifiers that relate to research entities
or objects encountered by or related to the activity. This includes participant institutions (by use of
ISNI, GRID or ROR) and researchers (ORCID ID, ISNI or other identifier).

identifier (RAiD)
1 Scope
This document defines the use and structure of the Research Activity Identifier (RAiD) system. The
RAiD system includes a registry which supports the identification of research projects, i.e. projects
managed in a scholarly or industrial environment which are expected to lead to specified outputs.
It also specifies the RAiD metadata record which holds key metadata relating to the identified project
and indicates relationships to other entities and their persistent identifiers and metadata.
RAiD is an identifier for research projects and sub projects or tasks within such projects. It is not itself
an identifier for any individual, group or institution, it is not a repository for project documentation or
deliverables, nor is it a repository, platform or storage method. It does not apply to research outputs.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.2
ISNI
international standard code data identifying the public identity of parties (a person or an organization)
across multiple fields of creative activity

are to be avoided where ambiguity can arise. The unqualified use of “DOI” alone can also be ambiguous. Therefore
“DOI” is always used in conjunction with a specified noun [e.g. DOI name, DOI System] unless the meaning is
sufficiently clear from an earlier mention or the specific context.
