pid4cat-model 0.4.0

Python model equivalent of LinkML datamodel for handle-based PIDs for resources in catalysis (pid4cat)

Python package for pid4cat persistent identifiers

The package helps to interface the pid4cat service, a service offered by NFDI4Cat for metadata rich, universal persistent identifiers. pid4cat builds upon the handle-system (as DOIs do). pid4cat adds a custom API to a handle server and provides a LinkML model for PID-related metadata. The metadata are stored in the handle records.

This Python package includes an equivalent Python (pydantic) model of the LinkML-based datamodel for the metadata of pid4cat identifiers. It moreover includes some helpers to simplify using pid4cat identifiers.

Installation

The pid4cat Python is published on PyPI and can be installed in the usual way
