Terminology Description PHP
Persistent identifier

A persistent identifier is a code that identifies a digital resource (document, object or
bibliographic record) without any ambiguity and that can be cited for information retrieval
in the long term. Even if the resource moves within the information system, the persistent
identifier still remains the same thanks to a resolver system making a permanent
correspondence between the identifier publicly known and the physical current address in
the system. [http://www.ifla.org/VI/4/news/ipnn40.pdf]
