Identifiers accepted for RAiD relationships

A RAiD's contributors, organisations, and related objects are each identified using a specific persistent identifier scheme, enforced by the RAiD API. This page summarises which schemes are accepted for each relationship, and links to detailed instructions where the scheme needs one.

Contributors

Scheme	Format	Example
ORCID	`https://orcid.org/<orcid-id>`	`https://orcid.org/0000-0001-2345-6789`
ISNI	`https://isni.org/<isni-id>`	`https://isni.org/0000000123456789`

The RAiD demo environment accepts only ORCID sandbox IDs (https://sandbox.orcid.org/...) for testing.

Organisations

Scheme	Format	Example
ROR	`https://ror.org/<ror-id>`	`https://ror.org/03yrm5c26`

ROR is currently the only identifier scheme accepted for organisations.

Scheme	Format	Example	Notes
DOI	`https://doi.org/<doi>`	`https://doi.org/10.25955/abc-123`	Preferred scheme when the object has a DOI. `dx.doi.org` links are also recognised.
Handle	`https://hdl.handle.net/<prefix>/<suffix>`	`https://hdl.handle.net/10794/12345`	For Handle System identifiers that are not DOIs. A DOI pasted under this scheme is validated as a Handle, not rerouted to DOI validation — use the DOI scheme instead when the object has a DOI.
RRID	`https://scicrunch.org/resolver/RRID:<id>`	`https://scicrunch.org/resolver/RRID:AB_2298772`	For research resources registered with SciCrunch — antibodies, model organisms, cell lines, software tools, etc.
web.archive.org	`https://web.archive.org/web/<timestamp>/<url>`	`https://web.archive.org/web/20260525114818/https://ardc.edu.au/`	For objects with no persistent identifier at all. See Use a web.archive.org identifier for a related object for the full snapshot-creation workflow.

When you paste an identifier into the Identifier field of the Add Related Object form, the RAiD User Interface automatically detects DOI, Handle, RRID, and web.archive.org URLs and sets the correct scheme for you.
